Good for you!

I'm still waiting for the prize.

Originally, my understanding was that it was for a $5000 credit for Craftsman items, but it looks like it will actually be a Sears Gift Card.

I checked, and a Sears card is good at Sears, K-Mart, and Lands End.

Still not sure exactly what I will do with it.

What I really want is 5 grand in lithium batteries, electric motors, battery chargers, solar panels, LED arrays.......

I'm going to have to triple-check all the fine print before I do anything!

[Weather Spotter]

you might be able to sell the gift card, or trade it on one of the online sites. Both options can give you cash at the rate of 80-90% of face value.

Awesome ben! I'm sure you'll spend it on more eco stuff for sure. Talk about a return on investment!
