    I do understand what Quentin is saying.

    I could go on ebay, buy 2 finish coupons and take them to the shop to use in tesco. Me buying them from ebay, or me printing them from home myself makes no difference :o

    And no, it's not my selling them either. I have no dish washer and my tesco doesn't take coupons :A

    Quesntin does have a point. The ebay seller might have only printed 6 odd, where some of you guys from here might have printed out 26!

    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!

  • I do understand Quentin's point. It'd personally cost me a lot more than £2 in ink for 20 or 40 coupons if I was to print them off at home, and they would be just as legit as the ones that are being sold, providing that they haven't been tampered with.

    my local tesco, like many now, is getting very coupon-fussy and i'm not sure whether to even try with the finish ones or not. their new policy is that a team leader has to double check all cashier's coupon acceptance, the cashier has to call them over whenever one comes through, its so time-consuming.
    Won't buy nuffink without a discount :p

    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
    I like this idea Martin ... worth considering :T

    hi jen,

    i agree with what you are saying, and if the person from this site is doing this with the finish pdf (not altered) i see it as no difference to me printing enough for one a day untill expirary date. which im sure most of us on here will do. NOW...........WHERE I DISAGREE.........is when there is a seller, selling a coupon net type, in quqntity, with the same id on.:eek::eek::eek::eek: hopefully ppl reading this who buy from ebay, will accept and understand this is a big no-no and not buy. as well as understand they are open to being acussed of fraud. dont waste your money ppl. also to those who buy legit (hopefully) pdf's, check the expirary dates with this site, if different............they have been doctored. ...............just my oppinion...........not intended to fuel anything.
    the more ppl understand why they shoudlnt buy coupon net type ones, the less chance the flea sellers have of selling.............less fraud in circulation.
    keep up the boycott folks......every little helps.

    Used Finish today no probs...scanned the big one I printed and handed in the smaller one....
    ...also used yesterdays Sun moc's and bought a Sun today and used the £1 in that, then lovely , lovely SA said for me not to forget the Star Mag, as there was £1.50 in that...used 5 x 25p Pikapak, the 3 x15% ones from the kitten pack I think 1 was for 48p and 1 for 58p and the other 17P:D...plus a few others ,total of just under £12 in moc's.....been a good week for me been 3 times Mon/Wed/Fri and used almost £30 worth of coupons...much prefer once a week shopping though, but was passing the other days, so took advantage of it.Hoping to keep up my average this year so far of £100 a month of moc's :beer:...not anywhere near as much as loads of you other peeps, but I'm more than happy...

    Why bother reporting them?

    What harm are they doing?

    hi quentin,

    ...........if selling legit coupons, no harm at all. i think the aim of most ppl is to stop the selling of fake/doctored coupons.
    keep up the boycott folks......every little helps.

    if it's too good to be true , it usually is...

    couponnet is not taking heed of MM at the moment peeps , is it?
