Thanks Loc.The apartments I will have to look at Home Depot and Lowe's to see which is closer and if the deliver for free and install costs.Here in Georgia we have Dalton the carpet capital of the world but it is over an hour away going and back.So any savings on their pricing is negated by the gas and delivery costs and extra time taken for delivery on the rehab.So why would they want to sell a discounted gift card on Craig's List??

If they increased sales volume, it would have a negative short term effect on prices but I think we would start to recover faster.
