I'd like to suggest a fourth: Since I am not an expert at everything I only purchase things from vendors whose insurance agencies are reputable. I verify that the merchant actually does have a policy through Super Insurance Utah and since he does I know that: 1. The insurance agency has checked out this guy's wares to make sure they live up to his claims. Since they'll be paying for my death (my family sues them and the insurance agency has to pay out) they have a good incentive to make sure he's legit. 2. I know that the insurance agency will pay out if I die. -- Jessie A.
