    TRAIN ¢ RIDE IS OVER ¢ One Cent Coin Train ¢ Thanks for great ride ¢

    This is my first time conducting a train at HCW and I am excited! It is a simple train with one mailing but to three different people on that one day.

    You may be asking yourself .. "Why is it called the One Cent Coin Train?" and you will find out shortly .. just keep reading.

    Remember, you can only ride up to three trains at a time at HCW and that does include conducting as well. If you're already on three, you can catch a ride next time!

    One Week, One Mailing of (3) Envelopes, (25) + coupons in each envelope, (10)+ rating, POTLUCK but try to match wishlists as closely as possible

    How this train works:

    This train will run for just one week. I will do a matchup in this thread assigning each person (3) different riders to mail envelopes to.

    Each rider will include a minimum of 25 good, quality coupons in each envelope (75 total). The coupons can't expire before June 30.

    The mail date is Tuesday, June 16, 2009. I will PM everyone with the mailing addresses of all the riders as well as the wishlist links.

    I will be taking 15 riders, including myself, for this trip. I will take new riders until I get the ten or until Sunday June 14, whichever comes first.



    How to Join this train:
    • Naturally, you must be a member of the Trading Group. You must have a 10+ rating and NO negatives.
    • You must be able to mail three envelopes on or before June 16.
    • You must post when you mail your envelopes and when you receive your envelopes.
    • You must be able to send out 75 quality (no junk!) coupons. This would be at least 25 coupons in each of the three envelopes.
    • You must have a posted, updated wishlist in order to ride.
    • You must PM me with your mailing address and wishlist link(s). Please include the train title in the subject (you can just shorten it to OCC if you'd like).
    • When you post in this thread that you'd like to join, you must also post a funny or recurring :hectic1: story or something that happens to you often that just gets on your nerves!
    General Rules of the Train:



    No baby, pet, alcohol/booze, odd items, and/or medicinal items UNLESS you have an exact wishlist match. For instance, I can't use cat stuff, so I do not want a ton of Friskies coupons. I have no babies, so I can not use diaper coupons.

    Limit of one of each coupon unless it is an exact wishlist match. For example, $2/1 80-count Excedrin is not the same as $2/1 any Excedrin.

    If you have an exact wishlist match, duplicates/multiples are encouraged unless the rider states otherwise.

    You can always include more than the 25 min. coupon requirement. If you're sending shorter dated coupons or duplicate coupons that are not an exact match to the w/l, those will not count towards the 25. Please keep this in mind.

    Printables are fine to send if the rider can use them. If they do not state so and there are none on the wishlist, feel free to PM them and ask.

    Store specific coupons are only okay if they are listed on the rider's wishlist. If the trader states they do not shop at K-Mart, for example, please do not send coupons that are only redeemable at K-Mart. They will most likely be thrown away.

    Box Tops for Education, Campbell's Labels for Education, Coke codes, UPCs, etc are great to send if they are on the wishlist. One code/upc/label counts as one item towards the 25 minimum, regardless of the value of the item being sent. Keep this in mind.

    Rebate and TMF forms are great to send .. just check the state on the form and be sure the person can use it!

    Again, the coupons can not expire before June 30 to count towards the minimum requirement.

    Try to leave feedback for your fellow train riders as it can be hard work to keep this all organized and match up coupons with wishlists!

    If for any reason, any of your envies are not received, you will be asked to remail. Joining this train is your agreement to this rule.

    Please remember that when you sign up to join a particular train, not only are you agreeing to the specific guidelines of that train but the train rules as posted HERE in general.

    Failing to follow the rules of the trains or not sending an envelope falls under a bad trade. You can be reported for this and be listed as a bad trader.

    If for any reason you mail out late, post in the thread when it went out so your receiving rider can watch for it.

    If you have issues with your received envies and PM me to complain about an envie having multiples, or short dated coupons or nothing from your wishlist, etc., please re-read the rules & count the coupons sent. If there are more than 25, count the ones within the rules. If there are 25, the rest are extras. If not a single coupon in the envie is from your wishlist, but they are within guidelines, that is how it goes sometimes. This train is potluck. We all hope to send and receive the best envies possible for each other but sometimes that just does not happen.


    Now, on to my story and the reason why this is called the One Cent Coin train ... As many of you are aware, my name is Penny. Sometimes, especially over the telephone, the person I am telling my name to does not understand me. They think I have said Patty or Jenny or something totally off the wall and no where near "Penny". :shrug7: They may ask "Patty?" or "Jenny?" or just "what?" and I have to repeat myself so I say my name again and add a little something to it. "Penny, like the one cent coin".

    I would like to join :)

    edited to add my story from another post:

    Ohhhh, I can soooo relate to the restroom thing - my son will have to go to the restroom in every single store, no matter how recently he has been. I can tell you what every bathroom looks like and where it is located in every store within 30 miles of my house lol

    Also since this is a steal off of another, I want to add:

    I hate it so bad when I go to check out and they cashier and even sometimes manager thinks I'm a criminal. I try real hard to match up sales and coupons and go to different stores so sometimes I will leave the store just paying a few dollars and they treat me like I am trying to rob them lol

    I would like to join the one cent train.
    Not really funny but I hate it when salespeople, clerks, health staff,etc. call me Pat. My name is Patricia and I go by Patty. Not even my DH or close friends get away with calling me Pat, so why do people I hardly know feel free to shorten it any way they want?
