Well, considering this thread began with a discussion about 'junk', I
thought I'd mention the king at the show. Yes, he doesn't have stuff
that I'd want to do production on, but he does have the cheapest
components to build a computer (less than $15).
It's definitely good to get a warranty; especially on things that are
not so solid-state (monitors). Some of these guys, like junkfest, are
shady, but then again, look at what you're paying for some of the gear.
