This person also didn't say that the $1.00 included postage or not. Either
they will spend a total of $1.32 to give you $1.00 or will spend $1.00 to
give you $.68. On top of that, you would have to mail it to him with the
$.32 cost of a stamp, so you would only really make $.36 to $.68 from the
entire thing...not including the price of the envelope which you would use
and then he would use another, decreasing the total return value to almost
nil, while he would apparently make quite a bit more. So, in reality, you
are losing money in the long run.
