    WOW - I cannot believe this is the 'new trend' ... I would not buy these items in yard sale, nor would I sell stockpile items. In my opinion it is just wrong and makes people treat couponers with less respect by seeing how low they can go. Uck!
    ... I'm earning $5-25 Amazon.ca gift cards EVERY month, are you?

    P.S. ... starting to hunt for ShoppingChannel GC's with no minimum purchase ...

    Nice profit! I wouldn't have the nerve though, highly unethical!

    Happens a lot in the USA . People sell it and other people buy at a great price. The people that buy it say it saves them a ton of money and they don't have time to do all the couponing it takes(or they R not interested). If people buy it I guess it works???

    Couldn't it be classified as illegal selling food from your property? What if someone claimed it made them sick, I wonder if they could sue?

    This is outrageous! Again, it's ruining things for the average consumer who coupons to save money on groceries. The coupons are going to decrease in value significantly. Unbelievable!

    Certainly leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I wouldn't do it, nor would I buy items like that from a yardsale. I do wonder if they are allowed to do it? Wouldn't that be a small business? I would think they would have to have a licence and pay taxes.

    In theory the stores could ban them as they are buying for resale and places like Walmart don't sell for resale. Also think the companies might have something to say about it too.

    You see adds on Craiglist, ect... for this sort of thing too.
