New Warranty Policy at AGD

[mobius]

I see a warranty as the manufacturer standing behind their product. I like to look at it in terms of a very particularly failiure-prone computer component: Power supplies.

You can pay 35$ for that generic 450 watt Power supply with a 1 year warranty, or you can pay 65-75$ for that Antec with a three year warranty. I'll give you two guesses as to which is better.

Don't get me wrong, I've had my fair share of products where the warranty means squat in terms of quality. But for the most part, a Warranty indicates a company's belief that their product will function properly.

I agree. I just spent $4100 on a new toolbox for work (I'm an autobody tech), and the reason I chose the Matco box over the Cornwell was that the warrantee was better. I knew for a fact that the boxes were of comparable quality, size and price. So I had to make a decision based on something.

On the other hand, I would definitely prefer that a product was good quality with a bad warranty that I'll never use, versus bad quality with a warranty I'll use every month.

To sum up, I feel AGD made a wise business decision.

it hasnt gotten bad at all. agd is just sick of having to fix guns for free when they could be making money. so just take care of your gun, dont wrap it around a tree and youll be fine.
