Anybody catch the 1/10 AGE ad in the USA Today?
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2011 6:22 pmHey folks-
At my college, copies of the USA Today are given away like, well, a dying brand of informing the public which is quickly and permanently transitioning into the online realm. I always pick one up for the puzzles. Flipping through it today in my English class (I know, I know, shouldn't do that), I ran across a full-page ad for gold coins. They are selling them for something like $155 each, up to ten per household. Not bad, huh? Well, "shipping, handling and insurance" runs you $36 for one coin, and $31 for all ten.
So if any of you run across that ad for 1/10 AGEs for the low, low price of $155, make sure to read the fine print.
