The people in the Midwest are so...rude! I have put my coupon for a FREE bag of full size chips from Frito-Lay (valued at $4.29) and I have only received "trade offers" for fart in a jar (really, that was one), five bottles of alcohol (as long as I am over 21), a coupon for a free cup of coffee, and a few miscellaneous, obnoxious comments. Seriously?? I have never been on CraigsList and thought about emailing a ridiculous post and say something offensive (of course, I am not a say something offensive person), but it just amazes me that people are so comfortable on the internet that they feel totally "safe" by sending a message by email. IF I knew what I was doing (and was that type of person) the little email entity would not be a problem. But, because I am not like that, they are safe...and I am praying for them.
Another thing that is amazing is that my posts keep getting flagged and removed. REALLY?? Since when is it against their Terms of Use to trade a COUPON for FREE food for something else? I could trade for a used movie, a used book, a box of broken crayons...anything that is just laying around, collecting dust, and not being used, but instead, I get flagged and removed. AWESOME!
So, this coupon is moving MUCH SLOWER than I thought it would go. I figured I would have at least twenty legitimate offers for a trade...but not even one good one (well, except the alcohol). I am going to make a trade for it by the end of this month. So, seven more days of posting and flagging on CraigsList, Facebook promotions on OrigamiCrackers, and trying to find new and improved ways of trading up for something better than a bag of chips.
If you have an offer you would like to make to us...leave us a comment!
Thanks~
