You Suck.              My latest tool gloat is nowhere near that cool. I decided I wanted a       second Badlands 12000lb winch to use as my hitch/plate mounted utility       winch instead of the 8000lb Warn I've been abusing the last few months.       I haven't looked at the Warn since, but during my "rescue" mission a       week or three ago it started to cut out spooling in the cable.              For Father's Day weekend HF had a $50 off coupon for the winch I wanted.        They also had a 10% off any single item coupon. A few days prior I       had looked at a couple roll away tool boxes to use as tool carts for the       manual mill and lathe in the back shop, but the shipping was pretty high       (nearly $200 maybe). Even logged in with my Inside Track Membership.       When I went back to add the winch and coupons to my shopping cart it       applied both coupons and gave me shipping of less than ten bucks. I was       pretty stoked about getting a thousand bucks worth of stuff for just a       thousand bucks AND getting it delivered cheaper than I could go get it.              Then YOU had to come along with a better deal, make me all jealous, and       take all the wind out of my sales. Seriously, congratulations on what       sounds like a great score.              --       Bob La Londe       CNC Molds N Stuff                     --       This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software.       www.avg.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
