I have a $100 gift certificate for UHaul items at uhaul.com but there is nothing there I want...
anyone wanna make me an offer for the certificate? I have checked and it is transferable...

Should I place this in the marketplace forum? If it's inappropriate here, mods, please move.

Thanks. :hi:

1. Well, as much as our cats love boxes, a $100 worth of boxes we don't have room for.
Besides, empty beer cases work just as well!



:hi:

5. How did you end up with such a bizarre gift certificate?
Who thinks "Ya know what would be perfect for Flaxbee's birthday? A U-Haul gift certificate!"

8. No ... one of UHaul's companies, called "help you move" or
something like that, completely f*cked up; the local Uhaul didn't even know about this other Uhaul sister company and wouldn't honor coupons I had from this other place (coupons that expressly said they were to be used toward Uhaul rental fees, etc.).

Anyway, I tried to get a refund from Uhaul on the cost of the truck they rented to us, but they ended up giving me this stupid certificate instead. I thought I could buy a good-quality jack for the car, but uhaul.com (of course) doesn't sell what I want.

So I'll sell the certificate for less than its face value, just to get some cash to use on other things... GRRRRRR

10. Ebay or Craigs List.
Put it up for bid, bet you'll get 80% of face value.

11. was thinking of that -- thought I'd give DUers a first crack at it
in case anyone was moving and needed supplies... if nothing happens soon, I'll CraigsList it.

Thanks. :hi:
