I've just recieved a FAA (Fine Art America) gift certificate and I can't use it 'cause I'm not from United State and the shipping fee it's to expensive (almost 40$ from USA to Europe), so in that case it is more convenient for me to sell it.
The value of the gift certificate it's 75$, but I will sell it for $ 50. The gift certificate has no buying restriction (you can buy anything you want from fineartamerica). No need to buy a certain amount that you can use this code.
I will send you the gift code by email once the payment will be made. In case you made the payment and you want your money back I will return your money only if I didn't get to send you the code of the gift certificate. Once the code is sent the return is not accepted (pretty obvious).
You can choose from any of the images on FineArtAmerica(.)com or upload one of your own!

I thought we had print companies in Europe for FAA?
Order from FineArtGermany. Com or FineArtEngland. Com

i would try that, or talk to sean, if this is an internal contest, he knows its world wide, it should be able to be used everywhere. i wonder if the currency amount is confusing the system.

Just checked and the shipping fee it's the same from Germany (I suppose it's the same for England): 39.10$ (which is way too much in case you do not have plans to buy something else/more). In the final 3 steps, just before to confirm the payment, you will be redirected on fineartamerica.com (if you are on fineartgermany).
Also, I checked if the Gift Certificate ID works for Germany, and it works.

Prints, metal, canvas and greeting cards ship from the UK. So unless you are purchasing something other than those shipping will be hefty.

Might have been wise to use the gift certificate to promote your site through social media or email. You get to advertise, a lucky recipient gets the gift certificate and you send them to your AW site where they will hopefully use it on your items

One option would be to place an order which will be delivered in England (shipping only $12.24), to a friend. And then this friend will bring me the package but this may take weeks and / or months. In case I do not sell it 'til then still not an option.
@Joseph C Hinson Photography you have a nice ideea here, but I don't have an website yet. All that I cand do in this case is to use it on my facebook page contest, but it will be kind of local contest so the winner will be pretty much in the same situation that I'm right now. Anyway I like your idea, so in case i will not sell it i will use one of these two options.

Hi Florin, I live in Italy and I have just ordered six prints, no frames or mats, and the total delivery cost was $10.20 which I think is pretty good. If I added a mat and frame then the delivery cost would have gone up because then they would be shipped from the USA instead of UK. I will have them framed here.

too bad these certificates can't force a user to buy from your store.

In another train of thoughts: $75 FAA Gift Certificate for ONLY $50 (paypal payment accepted).
8 Years Ago
It appears to me that Florin could use/would like to have the money rather than art - all of your suggestions are 'nice' - but as usual - no one is answering his desire.
8 Years Ago
I buy prints all the time and could use this. Florin please message me and we'll get it done.

@Roy Erickson You are right indeed, but all the "things" that I really like are pretty expensive (I'm talking here only 'bout the original works. Even some prints of the original works that I really like cost several hundred dollars), so it's not an option for me to spend more money right know :) Sorry if this offends anyone.
8 Years Ago
I'll give you $25 for it.
EDIT: Ops! I see Turnpike is all ready steppin' up... there you go.
8 Years Ago
I'll give you $30 for it, can pay through Paypal immediately
Edited to add: I am not going ahead with this and have notified the OP

@Edward Fielding thanks a lot! Design Turnpike can confirm that two months ago everything was fine.

Edward, maybe it's better not to assume things when you do not know all the details ;) Especially when things are transparent and you have not researched enough/read the entire thread. It makes you look bad. No offense! Nothing personal, but please do me a favor and do not reply to this topic anymore. You've done enough. I understand your point, and there is no need to insist :)
P.S. Greg Jackson. No offense! Read the entire thread ;) If you don't like it, it's not for you.
P.S. Abbie, no offense but maybe you should read the thread AGAIN, because I'm not the one who brings offensive words in the community.

So this is you?

You would do better using a real avatar so then people don't think they are being scammed. Just a suggestion. No offense.
P.S. I will be making an offer.
P.S.P.S. I made an offer of $50 for all three. Waiting for a response.
8 Years Ago
Here we go again! Go go go Ed! Show us what you can!
For those who have read only the latest posts, please read the full thread in case you are in doubt or you need more transparency.
P.S. This is my offer! Not interested in other offers!
1 x $50 FAA Gift Certificate for 40$
2 x $50 FAA Gift Certificate for 75$
3 x $50 FAA Gift Certificate for 105$
8 Years Ago
You could have the cash today. Time is money. My offer stands at $50 for 3. And if the transaction is successful I will even provide a testimonial for use with the next sale.
Or 2 for $35.
8 Years Ago
but you've been offering this for at least a month, and no one seems to want to spend that much to get so little off. i think you should just sell it to ed and run. otherwise i would advertise this in a place that isn't full of other artists. like maybe facebook, ebay, craigslist i believe were said already. basically places that have wanting customers. there are people that do buy their own work here, but i would guess, its a small number, and the rest don't even look at the forum.

Again with the accusations of a scam! My God!!
This is unbelievable!
Don't cave Florin! At least not the people that accuse you of running a scam!
8 Years Ago
i do agree though, it offers a hand of credibility when there is at least an avatar to go with the name. only takes a few min.

About as long as it takes to log out of one account and into another. I'm joking of course.

I'll check back later to see if my offer was accepted. I've been meaning to purchase some stuff for while. I'd like it to be today.

@Angelina Unfortunately you can use only one voucher per order. Usually, in online, the vouchers are not cumulative. It's a marketing ploy, a way to get money from your pocket.
8 Years Ago
The discounts are won one at a time Angel, that's why this person has three
Normally different people would win each one or people play to win them who actually want them and may use them against a couple of purchases
If this continues we may have to look at making them non-transferable :)
8 Years Ago
Does seem to be a problem if the same person keeps winning them (and doesn't even want them).
8 Years Ago
Oh I see Florin, it's unfortunate that they are not stackable, I think they should be if it's supposed to be FAA cash/credit.
I see Abbie. Would it be a good idea to consider allowing them to be used at the same time? I mean, the intent is to use it for art on the site, that would still be fulfilled.
It is a probably, but there are a few different ways to answer it. I think a solution that involves the people winning them to actually be able use them would seem like it would be a benefit everyone.
8 Years Ago
The more restrictions, the fewer people will participate. That has to be taken into consideration, of course.
I win all kinds of stuff in charity golf tournaments including cash vouchers or gift certificates good only at the clubs that play at. I would be very disappointed with any restrictions. I am in town for one day and win a $300 cert, I would much rather leave town with $$250 in my pocket then the $300 cert. And there are always people that want to buy them because they live there.
I also buy certs form people that win them and are only there for the day and would rather have the cash.
I am not sure I see the problem here. He won them fair and square, he should be able to do what ever he wants with them. FAA got what ever benefit they wanted when he did what he did to win the certs.
I don't get it that people came in here and started beating up in the guy.
These are not money cards or gift cards. Most coupons or certs of this nature are not stackable. Just like you can't take 5, 20% off coupons into a pizza place and get a free pizza.

Uncalled for Mike. Also insulting another member by inferring they are a spammer. Sorry, you have to take a break.
People. Leave the moderating to the moderating team. f YOU do not like something or are fed up with it, ignore it. This is a discussion area for all, not just the chosen few.
Thank you

I have several framed print pieces I need to buy as bonus gifts that I give out with all sales of my license plate map originals. You can check out the popular promotion on my website. http://www.designturnpike.com/purchase.html
This is the one I need to buy next.
Thanks Florin! Message me to arrange details.
