It made me think of a post Matt Jabs wrote at Debt Free Adventure about paying more for shoes that will last a long time and not getting rid of items as soon as they give you problems (http://bit.ly/c9Ynb). I know a lot of people that are quick to throw out electrical devices the moment they deliver less than stellar results when really those things could be returned to like new condition. Refurbishment saves resources and money. And thanks for the reminder on keeping receipts! That’s great.

Hopfully my camera will last forever, but if it does crap out on me I'll have to call up Kodak and see if they do the same thing. Luckily I keep most receipts for my big purchases too!
