I stopped using them back in 1999 when my kids took their coins to the supermarket with me and I discovered from the receipt they charged almost 10%. I wanted the money back but they wouldn't give it back. frown

In your case, it probably would have taken at least thirty minutes or somewhere around $30-$40 an hour to pay someone else to do the deed. Now, if 100 people did that, it would be $3,000-$4,000 to pay someone to buy some more machines, new cars, home, etc. What would that extra cash do for OCF? Maybe a few more mailers, 1/10 of another PSA, another trip to NIH to compaign for early detection funding, 10 dinners with Jack Klugman or Lance Armstrong...

Sorry, just the beancounter in me. I don't have a lot of extra cash since this horrible beast beat me down but I can still find time to spend helping someone. I would be glad to roll them for free if you could get them to me... laugh
