I won't buy a service plan for anything. I thought once upon a time it would be a good idea to buy one for the computer, but I found you practically need to have the whole thing spontaneously combust before the warantee actually kicks in.
As far as service goes, if you can't service something yourself, or fix it yourself, you are going to pay a large premium. That goes with any product. We had several people come in to bid on stripping off some wallpaper from a bathroom - I knew I was gonna do it but I just wanted to see what they wanted. It was around 700 dollars. For a days work. Ridiculous.
What I'm saying is, bagel, that you shouldn't feel bad if people can't do it themselves. They'll pay a premium no matter where they go. And most people are too lazy to even shop around for the best price on the work.
