Seen a lot of those. Also the "date your Snap on tools pdf" folks are paying good money for stuff they can google in ten seconds.....

It is written that as we creep ever closer, day by day, to the end times and the coming cannibal apocalypse, we will see more and more acts of sheer financial desperation among the masses.

I sent him a goofy question about the item (what kind of scissors he uses to cut the coupon).
Someone else should ask him if he runs with scissors!

Yeah, its kind of a douche move to sell them on Ebay, but I did buy one last week. I was looking to buy a decent cheap compressor to use temporarily, and I found a HF 21 gal but it was $199. I found out that there was -$60 coupon on ebay for $3, so I bit my lip and bought it. I then scanned it in and posted here in the HF coupon thread, then went and bought the compressor
As much as i hated to spend $3 to buy a coupon, I did it anyways to save $60

Haha, the description stated that the jar was already ghost-infested when they received it from what was described as a "village" (which made me think voodoo tribe or something). I did hear one time on the news that a plastic red cup half filled w/ water sold on ebay for $4,000 because the seller said Elvis drank from it at his show.
Not only the coupons, but I've noticed HF items for sale. Just last night, saw several screwdriver sets at about double the HF price, plus shipping.
You could say these people are ripping folks off, and they are, but let's face it, many today are just too dang lazy to do anything for themselves.

Maybe he is just building up and padding his "stats"?

lets break it down
.10 + .50 S/H = $.60
Ebay fees = .01
Postage = .44
So he gets $.15. Then if they pay by paypal its $.30. So he loses $.15. Sounds like a good deal to me

How are you figuring Paypal at $.30?

Paypal fee is baseline 30 cents plus a percentage.
