Have an appliance that's a few years old, a part broke - from an online search it seems it's pretty common, probably poor design.
I reached out to the company, and they offered me a replacement part, but I'd have to pay for someone to install it, or a rebate off a new appliance. Some of the options I'm debating, but not sure I feel comfortable with, are:
1) Find someone else who wants to buy an appliance and share the savings with them.
2) Buy an appliance I don't really need, and utilize AMEX's return protection.
