[i1d579576bc] [b1d579576bc]With all the drama on the board lately, I figured a little humor and fun was in order. Hope this suffices ) [/i1d579576bc][/b1d579576bc]

Well, I was just spent the past half hour reviewing my three different paypal accounts, and figured out the total amount of money I've spent on referals.

Anyone want to guess? ?
First one to get it right gets [b1d579576bc][u1d579576bc]$5 VIA PAYPAL[/color1d579576bc][/b1d579576bc][/u1d579576bc]


[u1d579576bc]Few things to keep in mind[/u1d579576bc]
I did my first referal less then 2 months ago.
I got my first 50 greens in under 30 days.

By the way...
"You have no life" is not the correct answer.[/color1d579576bc]
(It's not a secret) wink


Let the guessing begin!
Cheers,

WE HAVE A WINNER!

I agree, I personally don't pay for referrals even though I've done the math and it would be very profitable to do so if you intend to sell the products. I have probably spent less than $50 TOTAL on all of the items that I have received so far, and that is just the cost of all the offers.

and i pay for refs if i REALLY need something..but i like to do actual site trading

breslijo

24-03-2005 09:15:29

no karma... hmm, does that mean it's over $1430? lol

i used up all my guesses..

but i did see threads involving Wood with 10, 12, 15, 17, and $20 referrals. I saw a Trade record of 36.. but then I heard there were more that aren't on the trade record. Then, you figure he must have traded for some greens, or got some for free, and got screwed on a couple.

but yet, my 3 guesses were wrong, so i'm out of the running.

Wood, do you have an estimate of the value of stuff you have won?

chillywilly

24-03-2005 15:00:11

I've been keeping track how much I've spent so far doing offers and based on what I've got in return (free stuff and items free from doing the offers), I've spent (to date) $187.40, and that includes offers I've kept and done.

Not bad, considering I've got an iPod 20gb, $40 is CC gift cards, 4 months of NetFlix rentals, 2 weeks of Blockbuster rentals, $20 in Lowe's gift cards, 12 weeks of the Sunday NY Times paper, various pills that I've not taken yet, a couple of books I wanted to read anyway and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Hoping to add to the value of that with a Mac mini, an iPod Shuffle 1gb and a PSP.

Next on my list is an iPod (20gb or 4g Mini) for my daughter.

Wood, don't take my opinions on paying for referrals the wrong way. I think it's a perfectly good way to get referrals, but I honestly don't have the money to pay for all these items even at a heavily discounted price. I would have no choice but to sell some of the products just to pay all my referrals off and I don't want to sell things for that reason.

When I sell something, such as my Desktop PC I either want it to go to a friend-in-need for very cheap, or I just want the maximum dollar value from it so I can either buy somethuing I DO want, or I can just save the dough for a rainy day. D

You are correct PoPoJiJo.

20 gig Ipod (freeipods) - $250
x800 Radeon (pctech4free) - $500
1 gig Shuffle (freeshuffles) - $150
CyberPower (freedesktops) - $500
17" Monitor (freeflatscreens) - $300
$250 GC (freehandbags) - $250

These are the ones I have either received, or have already been approved for.
Total amount I would get if i Stopped putting effort into it immediatly $1950


I have another 30 greens scattered throughout the sites I'm currently working on.

[u3e536367be]This list includes[/u3e536367be]
cameras4free - 8
oddtech4free - 6
freepsps - 5
tech4free - 4
etc, etc...

And of course, I have all the other lil trinkets one receives on account of the silly offers.
$20 to Circuit City
$20 to Lowe's
Walkie Talkies
FreeIpod t-shirt
Books


So in another week I should finish up those four other sites and my total gain should equal roughly $3200. 8)
