Crazy lucky deal on laundry pair

So my tenant informs me that for the second time the dryer has broken down and the washer was making funny noises. So I decided I woukd get a new set with a good extended warranty so I don't have to deal with broken appliances anymore.

The least expensive I could find was at futureshop, $599 for the pair, I managed to get another $25 off and paid $99 for 4 year extended on them.

They show up today to deliver them and both the washer and dryer are dented. They tell me I can refuse them and schedule another delivery or take a gift card. I'm thinking, well I do t want to waste another 3 hours waiting for a delivery and who really cares you can see the dent as it is on the side. So I say sure I guess I'll take the gift cards figuring it's $25 or something. The driver tells me it is $125 per unit! LOL. What a deal!!

Now I either will sell the cards or wait till I want to buy something....

Yes nice deal! A couple of cosmetic dents isn't going to make a difference in how they work! I got a heavy duty Lee Valley push mower for half price today off the sale table. In original box and only used in a photo shoot for a promo according to the store. Have been wanting one for a few years and can never find one at garage sales. Too good to pass up!

Yes 2 cards actually so a total of $250.

I actually did get a free dryer it lasted a month, and the dryer before that I paid $25 for it lasted 4 months. Not worth the time or effort to pick up another dryer and try to carry it down the stairs, what a PITA that is. When the dryer broke this time the washer went with it, so a new pair was in order. I looked on kijiji and people wanted $250 - $300 for their 10 year old junk when I can get new with full warranty for $599 it isn't worth my time.
