    Exactly.
    I used empty tubes and boxes so the product name will be even clearer.

    (reply inspired by current thread about KY coupons).

    BTW, that was my previous creation.

    This time I'm using Wheat Thins, OM wieners, Crystal Light and bottles of Kraft dressing from Kraft coupons, paints inspired by concoctions from KoolAid. Thinking about adding LifeSavers from current CVS deal, but it is still in stage of accumulation.
    No, cannot post a picture, this is Sothbey's exclusive, expect Kraft and Mars to be major bidders.

    I don't see how it could be wrong.

    I've never sold anything but I'm thinking about it..... . I can't see what is wrong as long as I obtained it legally.

    Once an item is in your hands, it is yours to do with what you want. Sell, trade, give away, use... the price you paid should not prevent you from doing whatever you want with it.

    I totally agree!!

    ...so long as it is legal to resell it where you live...

    I've never sold, but the way I see it, I would rather buy from one of you selling product than going to the store and paying full price for it. I'm sure you would give me a deal way better than the store could ever give me (Just saying If I was a person who didn't use coupons and had no clue that you could get free stuff with coupons).

    After reading this whole thread I am a little less opposed to reselling. Before I was like totally against it! Especially when there is a woman in my town that works at the local grocery store that empties the shelf of free items before anyone else can purchase them. Then of course resales them at her garage sales.
    I give a lot of my freebies to family, friends, the S.A. or church food bank. I am actually thinking of selling some of my stockpile in the future. I like the thought family comes first, I can totally relate to needing the money. I don't think I will stop donating or giving it away though!
