Here's a 10% off Grizzly coupon for major powertools or whatever

I don’t have any purchases planned, but if I did, I would rather pay Grizzly the extra bucks than to send you a dime. Maybe it’s me, but this seems like a crass attempt to make a buck.

Just sayin’...

Your response is purely emotional, much as I would expect to get from my wife, not at all businesslike or objective. I assume even your wife would rather you put $90 in your pocket send me $10 for lunch than the pay Grizzly an extra $100 dollars on a $1000 machine. But to each their own. Go figure why someone would want to lose money.

Why wouldnt you just give this to a friend or another LJ buddy looking to buy tools. This is the part of our capitolistic society that drives me nuts. I think it would feel really good, much better than a meatball sandwich, to hook up another fellow wood worker with your discount than try and weasel $10 out of them. You’re honestly missing out on that good feeling of doing something for someone who wouldnt otherwise expect it.

I wouldnt give you a poke in the eye and a box of donuts for it. +1 Tim. I find it audacious that you would even post this.

Ed, maybe you should have posted this in the Woodworking Trade & Swap section of the forum.

No emotion at all Ed. Maybe you could collect coupons from the newspapers that people give up for recycling. Most go for 1/20 of a cent. Or wait, you could sell them for 1/2 face value in front of the grocery store. You may have to muscle out the girl scouts selling cookies, but hey, that’s business. Let them sell their overpriced cookies on the street corner.

Yeah, if it were me, i would give it away to someone that could use it.

The first thing that came out of my mouth after reading your “offer” was ‘Are you serious?’

+1000 for Tim, what a joke.

WTF….I was given a coupon code for nothing from a fellow LJ member that I don’t know or have even met….If anyone who reads my post and wants a coupon, and can’t get one through a generous person on LJ, go buy the lastest issue of Woodworkers Journal than pay this guy anything

-- Measure "at least" twice and cut once

I, too, think it’s bush to try to sell such a coupon. At the same time, I absolutely appreciate Ed’s right to do so.

There really is no saving if you have to pay for a “free” coupon.

LMAO, I think I have just seen a new low. Really? Your trying to sale a coupon? WOW
Good Luck to you Ed.

I have a better idea, go buy a 30 dollar gift card from Grizzly and I’ll give you 10 dollars for it.

I just GAVE mine to Shelly for her purchase of the 17” Band Saw. And yes it’ll come to more than $30.00 savings for her. Come on, haven’t you ever heard of “Faith, Hope, ands Charity; but the greatest of these is CHARITY!”?

I’ll trade a 20% off harbor freight coupon for it. :-)
