1.99 mcdonalds vouchers for 99p...are these people daft?

austin

this seller doesnt seem to have done their homework when listing these..

unless im going stupid.. if you paid 99p (and thats the starting bid) + 40p postage for a mcdonalds discount voucher to get a big mac OR chicken sandwich with medium fries for £1.99, that would equal £3.38.

If you walked into macdonalds now and ordered a big mac OR chicken sandwich with medium fries, depending on where you live, it would come to £3, give or take a few pence.

so it would end up either costing you the same or more! either way, there is absolutely no point in buying these vouchers! but the seller describes it as a 'great deal' :wall:

work it out for yourself!

They are listed because people will buy them, I don't know why they would but it is like those who buy gift cards/vouchers for more than they are worth.

A way of creating good feedback? they only have 1 feedback, so this is likely what they are doing!

Why would anyone want to eat a McDonalds in the first place?
