What should I spend my gift certificate on?

[Orange Crush]

So I have a $25 gift certificate from Auto Krafters to spend thanks to the MEB Roundup raffle. Having never shopped there before, I'm looking for something to buy. I searched for Warn hubs and found the premiums, at $139.95?!?!?!? http://www.autokrafters.com/v4/go.g...products&show_product_id=513691&product=81432

Tom's has these for $89 - http://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/product.php?category=63&id=1004

Am I missing something here? These are the same item yes?

I have the same problem. I won a $25 gift certificate to a national 4WD vendor, and all their prices are $25 or more higher than everyone else. I hate to throw away $25, but not if it costs me more!

Also, it's only good at the local store, so that's about $15 in gas for me...

You have to shop carefully at AutoKrafters. They are high on some items, but reasonable on others. Take into account shipping charges. Stuff that they sell from other vendors like Duff's is always higher. I agree, not that price for Warn hubs, Advance store has them cheaper than ordering.

You know, I hate to call out a vendor, especially one who donated to the MEB event. Maybe I should have expressed myself more like 70 Steve did. I realize that Warn hubs can be purchased locally, and it wasn't until I searched for other items I need (i.e. Hi-Lift jack, Tuffy glove box & console) that I searched for the hubs. I understand that they have to charge whatever it is they have to charge in order to make a profit, but $50 higher than another vendor (on an $89 item mind you) is downright ridiculous. I wonder what their cost is on these.

If anybody has any suggestions on reasonably priced items with them, please let me know, even if it's hardware. I need a lot of stuff.

Thanks,
Bob

Inner rockers and front fenders are 2 items they have cheaper than JBG, but that does not mean they are the same quality. I need some sheet metal and would like to avoid shipping costs. They are close enough for me to drive up and see if the stuff is worth buying soon as I compile a complete list.

Gotta pay for them free gift certificates some how.

I hear ya, but it wasn't free. It cost me a whole lot more than it's worth. I was after the tires

Always win the odd prize don't it seem like. good luck with your decision sir

Sell it to someone here for $15-$20 and be done with it.
Trying to spend that is gonna cost you much,much more.

Be sure to call ahead to see if they stock the items you're interested in if you're going to visit there.

Think of your gift certificate as "free Shipping" Buy what you want and get free shipping? Good luck.
