This one didn't really cost me any money but it could have. I got a letter form a local car dealer, telling e that if I brought it the letter, my code number would match up to either a new car, $7500.00 in cash or a gift certificate worth $1500.00 in merchandise. Naturally I got the gift certificate. I checked out the deal and you have to go to a website, and use up your certificate at one shot. However all the merchandise you might want to get from the site has a minimum or $25.00 shipping an handling. IF you used the entire $1500.00 certificate up, you would likely have had to spent $500.00 or more in shipping this crappy merchandise.;
