<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dman, post: 442970, member: 15645&quot;]I&#039;ve been looking into buying some of the First Spouse coins on eBay. They&#039;re a bit pricy, so I&#039;ve been looking around for deals. Yesterday, I found something called &quot;Live Search Cashback.&quot; My main question is whether or not anyone has ever used this for gold coins and if so, how did it work...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For those who don&#039;t know, Microsoft seems to be running some kind of cashback program through live.com (presumably to try to steal some google users). As I&#039;ve said, I&#039;ve never used this program, so I don&#039;t know how well it works, but I&#039;ll explain what I&#039;ve discovered so far and hopefully someone else can tell us how well it works.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Step 1.) Go to live.com and search for &quot;gold coins&quot; under the &quot;sponsored sites&quot; section you&#039;ll see an icon and the text &quot;Live Search cashback&quot; next to the ebay link. Click that link and you&#039;ll be taken to eBay. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Step 2.) When you get to eBay, you&#039;ll see an image at the top about cashback. There are 2 catches: 1.) It has to be a Buy It Now (you can NOT make a best offer) 2.) you must pay with PayPal (a good idea anyway since you get a little extra protection). There is also a limit of $2,500 in rebates per year, and (I think) a max of 6 transactions.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Step 3.) Click on &quot;Buy It Now&quot; for an item. You&#039;ll see a message telling you how much you&#039;ll get back. There is a max of $200 per transaction. I found one coin for right around $600. At $180 off, it puts it right around bullion prices for the First Spouse coins. Also (a little confusion here), eBay says you can use coupons (Microsoft says you can&#039;t, but it also says that the merchant&#039;s terms superceeds MS&#039;s, so I guess that means you can). So I can use my current 10% off coupon, plus the MS 30% off program to get this coin for about $380. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I attached images to this post showing the various things I described above.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know it seems like one of those offers that is too good to be true... I guess that&#039;s why I&#039;m hear. I&#039;ve found several people saying it IS true, but I wanted to make sure that people out there have used it for gold coins. I&#039;m also curious if anyone did it using an eBay coupon. Thanks in advance!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone interested in trying this out, I&#039;d encourage you to read both the terms from MS and eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
