Crap and double crap.
Nov. 7th, 2008 12:15 pmRemember what I said a few days ago about my TV being broken? Well, the estimate from the repair shop was $360 dollars, minus the initial fee of $25 that I paid. The television itself cost a little more than $400. I checked out some prices for small flat-screen TVs from Best Buy and decided that it would probably be more cost-effective to get one of those new than to get my old one fixed.
I called the manufacturer to register a complaint. A $400-dollar TV should not blow out a bunch of its components after less than a year. I am going to get a new TV of a different brand.
I admit that I had a hand in creating this problem for myself, because I bought the TV from a guy on Craigslist (it was new, BTW) and not an authorized seller, which means I got no warranty. Let that be a lesson to you, kids. Always make sure you get the warranty.
Oh, and the water system in my apartment building is broken. The landlord says it will be fixed this afternoon. Until then, I can't flush the toilet or get anything from the faucet. Joy.
