Inflation really sucks. I’d have to charge this person $20 just to inquire into this great deal. And if they needed more information from me, well, they couldn’t afford it!
OMG – it’s the answer to my prayers. What a brilliant business idea. I have extra coupons, stamps and envelopes. A few CL ads and I’ll be able to get mine hors rides for my daughter, a 16 for my husband and sarcasm lessons for me. What a glorious day!
You could probably skip the lessons. 🙂
And save your $ in the bargain!
What, and miss out on the easy A? No way.
Cash only? But they want to mail you the coupons, not have you pick them up. So you have to mail them cash and then they’ll mail you the coupons? And, also, $5 shipping for coupons? There’s this thing called a stamp and I gotta tell you, it doesn’t cost $5.
“Please cash only.”
I prefer to either spend or save my cash. I don’t try to please it. It pleases me; isn’t that the point of it? When did money itself get so demanding?
Well, first all those European currencies got together and transformed into the Euro, and didn’t they think they were hot! Then the dollar went down, the pound went up, but the Canadianian dollar stayed the same. Soon the penny was all upset that it wasn’t valued any more, and people were putting them into computer heat sinks. Somewhere in India, a cricket bat was being sold for Greek Drachmas, twice the going rate. I blame George W. Bush.
And the sad thing is that somewhere in the world someone has fallen for this before. And will fall for it again.
On that note, I’d like to inform you all that you’ve won the Nigerian lotto…
I had a boss who once actually thought she’d won the Irish National Lottery.
I work for a bank and it is quite depressing the number of people who still fall for those schemes. One fellow got fleeced on five separate occasions by what was essentially the same ploy. One of the reps finally talked him into putting a block on his account so he wouldn’t be able to do any more wire transfers without talking to her first.
ugh that’s awful. my boss at least had the sense to listen to me when i told her that the probability of her winning a foreign lottery was so low it was in the negatives.
Is this Cat Math again? So I give you $15 cash you post me $10 of coupons and I’ve really only spent umm…umm…$42
Great deal will you send internationally? I live on Betelguise.
It doesn’t say US cash. I have $15 in Zimbabwe dollars. Heck, I’m so generous, I’ll send the poster 15 billion old old Zimbabwe dollars, which is what, 50 cents US after doing all the conversions?
I prefer Space Bux.
Can I prefer Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast?
Indeed, you can, and should.
Good, as FLCL confuses the Brak out of me.
HA! I just sat through a whole episode of FLCL, and then turned to my guy and went, “okay, so WHAT was the plot????” “Damned if I know..that chick just really likes to hit shit with her guitar”
Space Ghost, on the other hand, is on of my faves, as is Brak Show.
Prefer it, Prefer the crap outta it.
Well, FLCL, is completelt devolved anime.
They actually start for ma premise of “fan service,”
then wander off into genre-satire.
But, like only seeing one Noh performance, there’s context that is presumed, rather than given.
Makes me wish I could have been in with the Funimation people when they battered out the English-language version.
(Were you watching last night after Bleach? )
Can you make change for 150 Rhodesian dollars?
I wish I could have paid for my Rhodesian ridgeback in Rhodesian dollars.
Steve-O +/- Fireman, do you really have a ridgeback? The one I knew was the smartest dog I ever encountered. 8)
Rhodesians are brilliant and beautiful, but boxers will hose you at poker.
I did. She is gone now. 🙁 I have had 4 Rhodesians in my lifetime. They truly are very intelligent. They are very much like raising a 3 year old. They get their feeling hurt easily, they have to be with you constantly, and are pretty rambunctious. They are not for everyone, but if you fall in love with a RR, you will have a hard time going to another breed. They are the best cur hounds I have ever seen.
Ridgebacks are wonderful! I have my 3rd, but she’s getting old, at 14, so I will eventually get my fourth. She has converted several dedicated cat people into being cat and dog people. She lives with a beagle, and multiple cats, and is fabulous.
I wonder if they would take depression era tax tokens. I have about 100 of them which puts the face value at about 10 to 20 cents (most are one tenth cent but I’ve got a few half cents) which with inflation should be $15 right?
Oh wait. I’m not in the market for diaper coupons.
I’ve got a handful of Confederate dollars around here somewhere. Wonder if they would take those?
This made so little sense to me that I had to go back to bed.
Me too. But it still doesn’t make sense. Or cents.
I sent a cent to this guy with no sense…umm…I was following a witty thought but I lost the scent.
Well at least he made some money…..
Going back to bed sounds nice. Maybe I will do that.
I sure hope these aren’t WIC vouchers that someone is trying to turn a profit on.
If that were so, I think my head would asplode. I worked while in college at a grocery and because WIC usually is really specific about what people get – and it is healthy – I really approve of it. Someone selling that would be depriving a child, somewhere, if not their own, of something they need. Even if it’s diapers. If they actually did this I would hope they were rightly arrested.
Years ago, my brother and his friends somehow got their hands on a bunch of “WIC approved” stickers. They went around the store sticking them on things like margarita mix. The sad thing is, I’m sure some people tried to buy the items they stickered.
I’d wager that the author of the Craiglist post started dancing about like a sniveling madman upon thinking up this idea. “Someone’s going to pay me $15 for these coupons I got! I’m a genius! I’m going to be rich!”
I’d also wager that they dropped out of high school.
No doubt they dropped out of high school to have the baby who doesn’t need diapers any more.
That would explain why the coupons are written in crayon.
Attn: Dr. Who folks. You know who you are. (haha) http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/2010/02/doctor-who-trousers-of-doom.html
Pardon my ignorance here–is that the new Dr? I am mourning the loss of Tennant (and Eccleston, for that matter) and have not seen the new one as of yet…
Is it worth the web episode search? Or should I just remain a Dr. Who v. 11 virgin?
Sly, I can’t answer your question as I am a Dr. Who fan only by osmosis. I just know Develish1 and a few others who I can never remember are Dr. Who fans and when I saw this bit on another blog, I decided to publish the link. I could be totally mistaken about their interest in this Doctor. 8/
If you became a Dr. Who fan watching late-night PBS, then yes, watch.
Watching on SyFy (nee Scifi) can be some tedious for the commercials and previews being spoilers.
But, if you can embrace storylines having nothing to do with ‘who’ the Dr is, then, the new ones are better, for having SFX, but just-cheesy-enough sfx.
I really, really hope that anybody who thinks this is a good deal has no use for baby diapers.
Furthermore, I hope that anyone who thinks this is a good idea would be prohibited from raising a baby. (Which might be exactly what you meant.)
Also, I hope that anyone thinking this is smart wouldn’t be inclined to form the babby.
Statistically, people who think this is smart are probably more inclined to form the babby.
See the opening sequence in Idiocracy.
Sadly I think Mike Judge was being optomistic by setting it 500 years in the future. I’m think more like 10.
Even that seems optimistic, christina.
10? I live in a neighborhood that has some (though definitely not all, and decidedly not mine) families whose grandparents are in their 30s. You can do the math. It’s entirely possible that this is happening … oh, already.
Well okay. In my defense, the local Fuddruckers has yet to change their name to Buttf***ers. But yeah everything else is happening now.
$15 in please cash only? Sorry, all my cash is unpleasant and needy. Can I send you $35 worth of 16 instead?
Ah, so YOU’RE the one who bought the 16.
Bought, no; have elebenty gross of ’em, just never was brash enough to try and connive $35 the cat-dozen for them in public is all
See you all think no-one would be stupid enough to take this offer up and that the person who posted it is a moron but there are people stupid enough to take the offer and then the person posting the ad is a genius.
I’m pretty sure “genius” is not the name I would use.
It’s not genius if it works because someone out there happens to be a bigger idiot.
Glad to see you’ve returned, GT. How’s California treating you?
Pretty well, so far. Interesting place you all have here. People seem to be under the impression that if a sliver of the ocean is visible from a residence’s window, I will be willing to pay $500-$1000 more a month for the privilege of staying there.
Hey Graham, I’ll put up a photo of the ocean and only charge you $100 extra per month! I’m good like that.
I’ll sell you a coupon for $100 off a picture of the ocean for $200 cash please only.
Graham, when I was growing up, my family moved down to a small beach town in Maryland. It was the only place we could afford to live, and we were one house from the water. I got hassled in high school from being a “Beacher”…and now those same kids have all had families and moved to that town to pay 500% more than my parents did for the privilege of being “Beachers”
And yes, 500% more is not exaggerating.
Actually, I think a piece of my soul died when I relized the OP most likely had to send out an email letting at least one other person that the coupons were gone.
I don’t at all think the OP is a moron. I think they are opportunistic, and we should all weep for humanity.
Either that, or it’s cat math, and the answer is tapicoa pudding divided by the square root of a not.a.lion in extra minty condition.
Which we all know equals… Pancakes!
Either that or 42.
That’s it, I’m confused now. Could somebody hand me a towel. And some peanuts.
Dear Sir or Maam,
I am very interested in buying your $10 of coupons for for $15. Please send me $5 (Cash, please. You understand…) to cover the cost of me mailing you the $15. I will send you the $15 when I receive your payment.
Best,
Bianchi, Prince of Nigeria
You forgot to mention that you are wanting the coupons to buy diapers for the child of Mrs. Roseline Gupta who is the widow of Dr James Gupta who worked at the embassy in Nigeria before Prince Eli (a distant cousin to Maj. Tom Collins who was killed in Iraq just after stashed the $25 million in a safe deposit box) was overthrown and had to escape the country.
Ah, so Nigeria is where the Bianchi Sound is located. I had wondered.
Yes, near the This Too Will Pass and the No Money Atoll. All the same region, you see.
I went on a cruise there once… visited Sunnuva Beach, and the Isle of Lucy. Unfortunately we took a side trip to Michael Bay, where the ship blew up.
I was there not long ago, my hotel was near the tip of Theresno Point. I wanted to go surfing, but there were reports of Not.A.Lion Sharks in the area. I spent the whole time sitting on the beach in the shade of the Fingersand Palm trees.
You still don’t save any money, after all they’re simply coupons. 😀
I suppose if you were *really* desperate to save anything you could, and you shop at a place that doubles all coupons (our stores do, up to a certain amount) you could conceivably save $5 in the end…theoretically…or, you know, just download some coupons or look in the paper.
The best part is, soon after this they posted this someone put up another listing telling them how dumb this was. So they changed the price to $13.
Jamon – really ? So there is no hope for mankind!
Changing $15 to $13 is cat math again – and all the cats I ever owned were a damn sight better at math than this poster.
Dealing with money seems to be a bell-curve with those at the top (derivative traders, bankers etc) and those at the bottom (see above) operating on a different logic from me-in-the-middle.
My brain hurts – I’m going for a little rest
*sucks thumb and goes to watch some individual hurtle on a piece of plastic at gazillion miles per hour down some icy walls*
So, Mudsy, how would you like your card punched? Easy, or hard?
greedy and stupid. what idjits.
