I was at work yesterday talking with a customer. She told me that Bed Bath & Beyond coupons were being sold on E-bay. So, I went and checked it out. Sure enough someone is selling both 20% off and $5 off $15 or more coupons!!

I have a bunch of them that I get through the mail that I don't use because I get an employee discount. Think I should try selling them??? Normally, I bring my coupons into work with me and give them out, usually to elderly people who are on fixed incomes.

What do you guys think??

:) Well you know Donna I am a little confussed.. Why would someone want to buy a coupon?? Does this not give them much $$ diff if they have to pay for the coupon?? Personally I like the idea of giving them to a elderly person on fixed income..

There are sites you can go and download coupons for free. I would NOT pay money for coupons on ebay. To me that's being a scam artisit selling those for money.
I agree with lvpets2002, give them to the eldery customers. They truely appreciate them.

I doubt that they even have bids on them youd have to be pretty wacky to pay for coupons (and shipping) for something you get free in your mail...

I kinda KNEW what the answer was. I just wanted to get your opinions. I had an elderly couple come in yesterday to buy a wedding gift for their granddaughter. They purchased a $400 pan set. I gave them my 20% off coupon which saved them $80. They were so greatful. Made my whole day!

Yay! Isn't that a nice feeling! :) And you know those pots and pans will be used for years and probably treasured as coming from grandma and grandpa!

that was very nice of you to give away your coupon.

People would sell anything on ebay :rolleyes: doesn't mean they will sell though..
and remember that ebay charge you when you put things for sell and charge you even more when they do sell :p

I recently saw a BBB coupon on Craigslist! My initial thought was, "Now why would someone be trying to sell that????" But you just never know.

I love that you have given your coupons to others in the store, especially the elderly! How wonderful. I would say keep up the good work and don't try to sell them!
