he got glasses that retail for $250 (and probably cost the dealer $25 in bulk), not $250 cash.

OK, if that's the case, fine. It was unclear from earlier posts.

Not sure what the promo cost the dealers, but it was a promo code entered when ordering them from MJ

I cut my losses and pledged to no longer donate to the Goodwill.
Goodwill isn’t a good organization anyways...

Well, I wasn't referring to the rest of you. Besides, I'd probably keep test-driving whether I got paid for it or not....though it's always nice to get a gift card.

Lincoln didn't pay $250/pair. It's a win-win for Lincoln and Maui Jim; customers come into the dealership, and it's free advertising for Maui Jim.
