PAGE 4D, FEBRUARY 7-8, 2007 NORTH FLORIDA FOCUS I CLASSIFIED MARKETPLACE SERVING NORTH FLORIDA AND SOUTH GEORGIA 362-1734 CLASSIFIED MARKETPLACE 1-800-525-4182 Dear Classified Guys, Two weeks ago I bought a massage chair with a heater and massager built into it. It's the kind you usually see on demo at the mall. However, I picked it up from the classified for only $400. That's a steal since it sells for almost $3,000 new. I know because the person I bought it from had the original receipt and paper- work. I was so excited, I put it right in front of our big screen TV. The prob- lem is my rambunctious son broke the massage mechanism within the first month. Now it only massages on the right side. While reading through the paperwork, I discovered that the previous owner bought an extended warranty that may offer a lifetime guarantee on the mecha- nism. Does that mean I can get the company to fix the - part under warranty or am I ,'--. out of luck because I bought the chair used? Cash: With a rambunctious son around the house, you could probably use a good massage. Although with your dilemma, it looks like you'll only be half relaxed. Carry: It's always a good idea to get the original paperwork or receipts when e UE CLASHED, Duane "Cash" Holze & Todd "Carry" Holze -'o 02/04/07 @2007 The Classified Guys you buy anything in the classified. In your case, it not only told you the origi- nal price, but it also offered valuable information about the manufacturer and warranty. Cash: The first thing you should do is read the warranty very carefully and determine if the coverage applies to your case. Many warranties limit their cover- age to manufacturer defects and won't cover problems resulting from consumer abuse. However, some extended war- ranties may offer additional coverage with fewer limits. Carry: It pays to read carefully. After all, you don't want to ship the product back only to find out the repair isn't covered. Cash: If you do think the warranty applies, contact the manufacturer and try to transfer the coverage into your name. Many manufacturers allow warranties to be transferred, however it is important to file that paperwork before you attempt to have it repaired. Carry: If you find the damage isn't covered under warranty, you can still contact the manufacturer to find a local dealer who can service the product. Since you bought the chair at such a great price, it may be worth the cost to have it repaired. Cash: Otherwise you'll have to sit in it upside down to massage your left side. Extended Warranties Do you buy extended warranties on new products? If so, you're not alone. According to Consumer Reports, shop- pers were expected to spend $1.6 billion on extended warranties over the 2006 holiday season. However according to their research, extended warranties are rarely worth the cost. Most electronics and appliances today are very reliable which makes those unused warranties very profitable for retailers and manufac- turers. Most consumers also admit to wanting a newer model with updated fea- tures when their product finally breaks. Pressure Cooker Whether it's from commuting, dead- lines, or long hours, many jobs bring about a lot of stress. More and more workers suffer from physical problems like high blood pressure, headaches, achy muscles, and loss of sleep because of the stress experienced in their work environ- ment. A recent report by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, found that 40% of workers report their job to be "very" or "extremely" stressful. Nearly 550 million working days are lost annually from stress relat- ed absenteeism. Got a question or funny story? Call toll-free at (888) 242-3644 or write to: RO. Box 8246, New Fairfield. CT 06812. Stressing Out Working at a Weekly magazine makes my office very fast paced. Most newly hired employees go crazy trying to keep up with the mul- tiple projects and deadlines. That's exactly what happened to my new assistant. When I walked into the office one afternoon, I found her struggling to answer the phones while printing reports and swimming through a sea of papers on her desk. Noticing she was near a breakdown, I went over to calm her down. "The only way to do this," I said, "is to concentrate on one task at a time." After a few deep breathes I continued, "Now what are you going to do first?" Surprisingly she replied, "I'm going to lunch!" (Thanks to Leah M.)
