If I can afford to buy a broken $150 tablet off eBay or somewhere then I can probably afford to pay to have it fixed. I don't buy warranties and if it comes with the tablet then presumably I need the sales ticket (which I also don't save :-) and it would be an awful lot of work to find the same make/model to have repaired and they always get one for tax, tips, and gratuities anyway -- usually you have to mail it away and wait forever and all that.

Why am I not buying the $150 one originally and paying a couple hundred to have it fixed instead of saving $900 for six months and skimping on not buying renters insurance? Why am I letting thieves into my apartment or is it getting literally broken into and they're not taking my HDTV or jewelry, PC, etc. but manage to get the accessories to the tablet? Either I'm living in the wrong neighborhood and paying too much for my toys knowing there are a lot of thefts or I have the wrong friends.

I believe the warranty scam is a scam/unethical and would not do it because I do not want to be that kind of a person. That no one else would know; I would know and I am the only one who has to answer to me and I don't want to be that kind of a person: a scam artist. It's a direction and that would be facing/going the wrong way for me.
