What I’m really looking for here are pitfalls of either buying scenario:
I can pay $100 more to get this TV at Costco (and get their 2 year extended warranty)
or pay $100 less to get a (trusted) friend’s employee discount (and get 1 year regular warranty)
p.s. the TV offered by Costco is the “Costco model”, and the TV through my friend is the true Samsung model, which I am told by the friend and by posters on an A/V message board I’m reading, is virtually the same TV (same specs, slightly different body style).
Be my devil’s advocate!
