I know for some products they arer pointless but not for $500+ electronics in my opinion. And I know the reasons people don't like them. That's not what I asked. Its all about the benjamins - how do I sell them? What techniques proved effective on yourself?
I would never advise playing on fear, its a very dishonest method.
If you use case studies then cite ones where people were happy to have the warranty, not fucked because they didn't.

If you use case studies then cite ones where people were happy to have the warranty, not fucked because they didn't. When a customer feels that you are trying to scare them, they shut off.
Also remember that you are serving your customer. If the warranty makes their life easier, safer or better then you're helping them achieve that.
As a last ditch I would also try this:
"I know you guys aren't sure about the extra cash for the warranty. I know I shouldn't say this, but maybe you should consider a cheaper version, but get the warranty. I'd hate for you guys to be back in a few months all because it was that little bit too much."
Usually this will convince them that you believe the warranty is a good idea, not an add-on sale. Once they believe this they will pay for both the better item and the warranty.
