Just seen on ebay someone selling an advantage card with £700 on !

The crazy thing is the buy it now price is £670!!! For something that can only be used at Boots, and that Boots could decide to cancel at any time! Will be curious to see if they sell it. What am I saying, Bootsers love points, someone will buy it, lol!

The price stuff like this goes for always shocks me.Im sure this isnt a card that is being investigated, but how would you know:rolleyes:

Its like gift vouchers.I saw a £40.00 Boots gift voucher go for £43.00 , plus £3.50 p&p, what are people thinking Why not get one from dot.com if ya cant get to Boots


Edit Mrs T ...I was thinking where is everyone too:) .

had a look at that ebay auction. IT does seem a a bit mental that anyone would pay that much, its not even a really good discount either.

You would have to be CRAZY imo

Lots of reasons people pay the value or more on vouchers. I'll give you an example...
One of my buddies is on IS as is a stay at home mum(three kids under 3:eek: ). That allows you to earn £20 without any deductions on IS amount. She sells al the kids unused stuff on ebay. You are allowed to sell on ebay anything you bought for your own use and no longer require etc as they say the value will decrease etc. However, if you were to buy an item in order to sell it as profit it is classed as an income etc.

She went for her 6 month interview and had to take bank statements along, they questioned the paypal payments. To cut a long story short she had to provide print outs of all she sold etc and prove they were no longer used items. She had sold a couple of new bits and had to get letters to peove they were unwanted gifts etc. Whilst they investigated her, her IS was stopped and as a knock on effect they stopped her housing and CT payments etc.

So now when she sells their old toys/clothes etc she buys vouchers to use in next or whatever as then paypal does not appear on bank statements, so she does not have to go through all that palaver again. This was recommended to her by the advisor in the end lol

It was lovely, no vino here due to feeding little fella, but oooo was still a great sunny day. Mind you...furthest we ventured was to the garden to play on the swing and in the paddling pool. Can't wait till DS gets a 'big boys' swing so I can show him how to do it :rotfl:

EDIT: Not off topic as I got them from boots.com
