Description

The listing, $10 Gift Coupon for Butterball Whole Turkey - Exp. 12/31/10 has ended.

I am sorry to disappoint all of you who bid on this coupon previously before my listing got "flagged" for reason I do not know. I am frustrated that I can't even make this auction in time for Thanksgiving but it's still up for grabs and hopefully this auction does not get flagged again. I am genuinely trying to give this away to those who would appreciate this coupon. ARGGGHHHHH.

Here it is again, $10 gift coupon for butterball whole turkey. You can choose to buy a turkey valued at $10 or pay for the difference if you prefer a larger one. It expires on 12/31/10 so plenty of time to redeem.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

whatever, im gonna look the other way and call it a gift card. i had bid on it before but now i dont have many credits so i hope someone who really needs it will win it

Nice. Then my last comment and surrealjan's comment apply as tyhana has described.

Nov 28th, 2010 at 5:33:50 AM PST by

If it's possible to buy the turkey for less than $10, and it doesn't require a minimum purchase, it CAN be listed. It has to be made very clear in the listing that both of these conditions apply. This is treated as a "free" coupon (it's a voucher, not a gift card as you don't keep the remaining balance).

(Just a bit of background...) There are also Pace salsa coupons that are valued at $4, but are allowed to be listed. Most, if not all sizes are under $4 and there has (as far as I know) never been a "free" titled coupon for this brand of salsa.

The Hallmark coupons, however, CAN'T be listed. This is because they require a minimum purchase (it's listed as $5 off a purchase of $5 or more). In this case, it's not possible to buy something under $5 and still use this coupon.

The reason why there are so many restrictions on coupons is because anything other than "free" coupons require a type of out-of-pocket purchase. This makes only the piece of paper it's printed on free, not the value of the auction (what the coupon is for).

I know it's a bit confusing on how it all works, but if anyone ever has any questions, feel free to send me a message anytime!

congrats on all your bids sweety and god bless you

Nov 27th, 2010 at 9:54:25 AM PST by

WELL I want this for my christmas dinner everyone bid or look the other way on this one as it is something we all could use.

Nov 25th, 2010 at 12:03:53 PM PST by

Ruby433c, I think you are doing a great thing here and hopefully your auction will stay listed this time.

Nov 24th, 2010 at 1:42:03 PM PST by

This coupon could satisfy Listia and all if it can be confirmed a Butterball whole turkey can normally be regularly purchased under or at $10 before tax and without other coupons or discounts. Then one could get a free item with this coupon.
Similarly, the above could be applied to other coupons and its products too.
Maybe a good compromise for Listia and all?

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 5:41:28 PM PST by

Thank you all for your support and interesting comments and discussions. I'll just let listia take the wheel......lol at least I know I tried!!

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 11:52:13 AM PST by

I have read your posts and hope that listia does as well. It would be nice if someone who needs this coupon is able to win it before your post gets deleted again. Fortunately, like many have mentioned, there are always ways around (like offering the box tops or coke bottle cap rewards and "as a bonus, I'll throw in this $10 Butterball coupon"). I understand that it's more like a $10 gift card where you can either buy a small/sale turkey under $10 and pay nothing or the coupon will pay $10 of a larger turkey. Good Luck!!

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 7:47:00 AM PST by

not all items on listia are free some you still have to pay shipping so its not all free but this lady is trying to help a family that need a turkey or to save money on one which is a great thing iam not throwing shots at no one but its a nice free gift have you been to this web sight wishuponahero.com theres alot of familys on there that would love to get one of these for there family to have a good holiday.

YES """"GO TURKEY GO TURKEY HEHEHE"""""

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 5:09:45 AM PST by

is this for any store or a certain one?

Nov 21st, 2010 at 9:50:37 PM PST by

it's a manufacturers coupon and can be redeemed at any participating retailer so any supermarket who takes coupons should take this. In the back it is a barcode for scanning which I didn't take a picture of because the front says it all. In the back it says maximum retail vaile $10. It's like other free coupons giving away free products with a "maximum retail value" attached to it.

Nov 21st, 2010 at 9:55:49 PM PST by

Listia messes up links, remove the space (T urkey).

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 7:24:04 PM PST by

Yes, it's not always higher as you pointed out which I found out too.

The coupon is listed on officedepot.com and stated as $10 off as they officially see it.
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/366747/10-Butterball-Turkey-Coupon/
This wouldn't be a gift card or more appropriately a gift certificate, since it's not credit that can be used for purchases at a designated store, and it's not where any remaining credit can be used for future purchases. This only allows a purchase of a designated product from stores that carry it, and any remaining value isn't available for future use if the product purchased is less than $10.

I'd have no problem if Listia allowed such coupons and I'd list and bid on them too, but from what I understand Listia's goal is for a user to be able to list and get an item that is explicitly free.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 7:18:58 PM PST by

Btw, I find this a good discussion, it's informative and helpful and civilized.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 3:43:14 PM PST by

I agree, much is learned.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 4:41:55 PM PST by

Having 'Free' stated on the the coupon is different from '$x Gift', and I found out for free coupons, a store is 'supposed' to charge the difference, unless they don't, by mistake or by store policy.
Any kind of coupon that reimburses a store normally has that box.
Jesquarius, restaurant.com coupons come with many conditions such as minimum purchase, gratuity, validity, exclusions, etc., which violates the Coupons Rule.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 3:30:29 PM PST by

Yes I don't refute that the store is "suppose" to charge the difference but I was stating that earlier because you said the maxiumum retail price is always higher than the price of the item in which I disagree.

Also, there is a great difference here between my coupon and the "free" coupon in which I realized why the wording is different. "free" coupon is when the manufacturer of the product is giving out the product for free for redemption and it is not activated until the coupon is actually redeemed and the product had been given out. My coupon here states "gift" because it's not given by "butterball" it is given to me by "office depot" which they already "paid" (whatever the amt they paid for x amt of these coupons) for this coupon already. In another words its a "gift card" but must be in "coupon" format because supermarkets need to "scan" it. This is why I think it is not called "free" because it's really a paid GC for the amt of $10 and it's called a "coupon" cuz it's in coupon format.

All in all, I just think that listia is being too strict as the bidders of listia should dictate what is an important "freebie" for them. I'd take $ off any day and heck if I can get a $30 off $150 staples coupon here for free instead of the $3 i would have to spend to buy it on ebay, it's considered free rite?

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 4:41:40 PM PST by

Love the auction. Sorry you are getting so much grief. I could really use this. I hope it stays up.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 3:13:46 PM PST by

So those coupons state free on it but the max retail value exceeds the store price? I haven't experienced that but on free coupons there's a box where a store can write their price and in brackets it can state "up to $x". The supplier of a free coupon reimburses a store what's written up to $x, so if it exceeds that I assume the store absorbs the difference. If I find confirming info I will provide it, or if others know or experienced this they can too.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 2:27:13 PM PST by

Yups many times it's the case so when it's a product I use, I'll get it cause it's still worth it. Other times on products I don't need, I just give it away as it's not worth it for me. Yes I am familiar with that box for the retailer to put in the amt to get reimbursed for. This turkey coupon is the same thing as it states "max retail value $10" with a box for cashier to put amt in for reimbursement so to me, it's just like any other "free coupon" just that they worded it differently. Usually if the coupon states Max retail value of $1.49 and the product costs $1.59, the store must write $1.49 because that's the max they can get from the supplier of the coupon. Therefore, on my receipt it would be $1.49 off and I would have to pay the difference of 10 cents not the store unless the cashier makes a mistake and gives me $1.59 off. In that case then the store would lose the 10 cents as I already walked out and the supplier of coupon wouldn't reimburse any amt over $1.49.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 2:49:59 PM PST by

The difference is that free product coupons state free on it and the maximum retail price is always higher than the average selling price of the product in stores, which is why it's stated maximum, and all of which is why Listia has no restrictions stated against them. As for taxes, that depends as you stated, which is out of Listia's control.
I too before have asked about such coupons and have been explained to and now understand.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 1:03:34 PM PST by

I beg to differ. I live in New York City. One of the reasons why I am giving away my cottenelle coupon is because the max retail value is at $2.89 and it costs at least $3.99 here all across most chains/supermarkets. Free Coke coupons are Max retail value at $1.49 and are sold for at least $1.59 in 9/10 supermarkets/chains that accepts coupons. In essence, free coupons are never exactly "FREE" for me. As far as this coupon is concerned, it's basically the same logic: FREE BUTTERBALL TURKEY, Maximum Retail Value $10.00. I don't know, maybe I'm just going crazy.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 1:23:55 PM PST by

could be used for Christmas dinner for sure...

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 11:24:50 AM PST by

ty =)

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 12:13:43 PM PST by

this is a verry good auction sorry you are getting so much negativity but you are right even if it is 10 off or 10 for a free turkey it is still helping someone that cant afford a turkey this year so that there family can have a nice holiday 10 off is really good still some turkeys are like 20.00 but just the 10 off helps a lot so you can buy alittle more with that 10.00 you saved for some thing else you need at the dinner table i will be bidding good luck sweety

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 10:15:35 AM PST by

thank you very much for your support. =)

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 12:14:42 PM PST by

I read the second post. The coupon can also be taken as "$x off $y" since it's "$10 off $final price", and is similar to "% off" since it's "$ off". As others have stated, Listia's Rules only allow coupons offering free items, since it keeps with the stated direction of the site.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 7:22:12 AM PST by

In that case, "FREE PRODUCT" coupons with a "MAXIMUM RETAIL VALUE of $X.YZ" shouldn't be allowed as well as it is also $x.yz off the final price not including taxes depending on where you shop and the state you are in.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 8:12:01 AM PST by

Also, this technically is $10 off, which violates the Coupons Rule.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 12:38:39 AM PST by

please refer to my second reply of this post.

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 7:02:38 AM PST by

I really need this bad I wont have money this year to buy one unless I have a coupon like this.

Nov 21st, 2010 at 9:53:15 PM PST by

I understand your situation. My sister's bf just borrowed some money from me so that he can get to work tomorrow. I asked him "shouldn't you b borrowing money from your parents?" he said "can't do that" because his father recently just got laid off and only living on $50 a week and thanksgiving is coming up. All i can say is the economy hasn't been easy on a lot of people. I just really hope this doesn't get flagged again.
