    A dream mansion for $97,000?

    The thing that really baffles me about those coupons is that people are actually bidding on them.

    Sadly coupon selling do work. Not much profit unless you sell thousand a week. People buys up the coupon, take to the store that has the product on sale, stack em, etc and you end up saving more than what you spent on buying coupons.

    The best part? It's near impossible to track them if they were stolen from stores. ie swipe 20 Sunday edition newspaper, especially from newspaper box. A typical Sunday paper (major paper like Detroit) can have over $100 worth of coupon. Clip em, combine them in 10's or 20's or w/e amount and sell it as one lot on eBay. Easy money if you don't care it'd take hours to clip, organize, list, stuff envelope, mail em, etc.

    With that money on my country?
    Yes, I can already build a dream mansion, the dollar currency is more expensive than my country's Philippine peso currency.

    Auction #120971018776

    expensive_ps2.png

    $150 minimum for a PS2 with 1 controller, cord, nothing else? Not only that but the seller claims the mod chip costs $50 alone.

    Maybe I should buy those $5 modchip, mod a $20 PS2 I got from Goodwill (with TWO controllers AND a memory card) and sell mine for $200, claiming mine is a better deal than that seller.

    I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, due to their choice of words, but, baed on their other items... scam.

    Either he/she doesn't know, or they do... It's hard to tell. Best thing to do is just report their listings...

    And the sad thing is, there is a NWC cart on ebay now and it's only 99 cents less than that. :p
