"I miss the ones from last year which were for $5.  Period. I just looked around for some good $5 items. Granted, now, I'd buy much more than that... but still.. :>"

I thought that was really nice too.  A little customer appreciation goes a LONG way for me.  I think one time I just got something for 5 bucks when they gave that, and another time I probably spent 40 or so when I got the coupon.

To me it would make more marketing sense here to vendors and consumers for Rendo to give more of this type of coupon out and have a little better policy on putting things in the "clearance" section.  To counter the argument that there is just so much content here that they have to put things on clearance:
 
*require testers to actually earn that pay and stop passing crap 
*implement some standard of quality and originality.

I'm not sure that marketing is the strong suit of any of the ptb.  Not to derail the thread but I'm of the opinion that it is all linked.
