Interesting that you bring up such a scenario. I want to replace my work boots with a fresh pair of the same item, and on my to-do list tomorrow is to research a lower price than the manufacturer website. I would prefer something ebate-able, as I am trying to pay cash and get cash back for applicable stuff.
I found the watch that
CC wants for the same price as her suggested link with free shipping and 2.5% back on Ebates.
