A few screws loose here...

What is wrong with this picture? I noticed someone was selling individual coupons. Each coupon was for $1 off the product. The seller is selling each coupon for $1.10. Then the buyer has to pay $0.50 (cents) shipping. So... Here's what it comes to: $1.10 to buy coupon. $0.50 (cents) to pay for postage to have it sent to them. $1.60 total for purchase. The buyer gets $1.00 off the product. $1.60 total purchase. $1.00 discount for product. $0.60 (cents) additional (on top of the $1)...the buyer has to pay to get $1 off of the product. What the??? Who in the world does anyone think, that a buyer is going to go in the hole $0.60 (cents), to get a coupon to purchase something that they have to pay $1 for, to turn around and get the same $1 off? The buyers would actually be paying the seller to take the coupon off their hands!!! I am laughing so hard, it is difficult to write this post. The whole point is to save a $1.00... I remember a couple of times in the past... I would sell a whole bag of coupons (worth maybe $30 to $40) for maybe $4 or $5 just to cover fees, and may a few cents profit. I did it to bring buyers to my website, and that was the only reason. Buyers actually bought them, because they were getting a great deal of savings using them, even though they had to pay a little bit to get them. But this person who is doing (the above)... I don't think grasps the concept of why you would offer coupons for sale. ROFL!!!
