    Don't see how they are counterfeit currency, and they are used by Tesco to defraud the manufacturer/issuer, not the bidders!


    maybe so, but they spoil things for the rest of us :mad:

    depends on quantity :P. When people sell 20-40x of 1 coupon.. that one individual who would normally just be a '2 coupon a week man'... becomes a 200 coupon a week man :P.

    Sometimes printing coupons which are fake... i.e printing 3 quid airwick and 6 quid with same id numbers.... or removing id number from pigsback coupon.

    Ebay sucks

    You say it spoils it - but what is the difference between buying them printed out for you or doing it yourself?

    This forum promotes specific coupons far more than an ebay auction item!

    Your reply doesn't really answer the question.

    Why is someone buying legitimate coupons a "cheapskate"?

    How will they kill anything?

    There is no difference between buying £40 worth of coupons (ie 20 @ £2) for a fiver and scouring the forums to find the url and printing 20 off yourself (and maybe cheaper taking into account time/printing costs etc)!
    Very simply.
    It is a huge bonus that some supermarkets accept coupons.
    This is going into a grey area which will without doubt make the acceptance of coupons come under needless scrutiny.
    To sell the free coupons in the first place is just verging on an "Arfur Daley mentality".
    End of.

    Your argument doesn't hold up.

    The supermarket doesn't care how the shopper came to possess the coupons.

    As soon as the manufacturer released the coupons onto the net as a pdf they released the waterfall!

    And nothing wrong with having the mentality of an entrepeneur!

    In the light of this one reappearing (And others such as the Better by nature which 'ended' then mysteriously reappeared then went to mail only:mad:) I am just wondering if it might be worth having a 'Gone but maybe not forgotten' element to the first post? Those that have ended could be moved to the bottom of it in a 'Holding area' so that will make them easier to have the occasional check rather than trawling through old threads to see if they have come back?

    I think if they don't reappear after say 1 month after they ended then they probably aren't going to but just a thought :confused:

    Sorry Lori if this would be too much hassle then just ignore me :o
    :p:p Have a good [STRIKE]Tesc[/STRIKE][STRIKE]Asd[/STRIKE]WHO? day - Err....I still wish Mozzies had a better website even though they are now on MyS! :p:p :rotfl:;)

    So are you saying you don't want anyone to post any chat you disagree with?
