A number of times, I've had sales people be very uncomfortably pushy about trying to sell me warranties or protection plans, so I developed a strategy. I tell them that my parents always told me never to pay more than 10% of the purchase price for the protection plan, so if the item fails I'll make my parents replace it for me. None of that is actually true, but it has always worked. I mean, you can't exactly argue with it, can you?
Today the sales guy bested me. When I pulled out the 10% number, he immediately and without missing a beat reduced the price of the warranty down to 10%. So I bought it. I mean, I couldn't exactly argue with him, could I?
Well done to you, sir!
