So! Here's the scoop, in a nutshell:

When I'm not online and trading cards or helping with group breaks, I'm an insurance agent in California. The market is pretty rough these days, so I thought I'd get creative and see if I can help out some TCCers at the same time.

This is my offer to you!

If you're a California resident, in charge of their own insurance (no bugging mom/dad, in other words), who would like a no obligation quote for home, auto or renter's insurance, I offer you the following:

-Approximately $15 in hobby packs for the sport of your choosing (I only have a few stores local, so hockey MAY be tough)

-A similar amount in a gift card for an online retailer or eBay, if available in that same denomination.

No catch. If I can't save you money and you want to stick with your current company, no biggie. The packs are still yours. Hopefully, I'll save you some money AND get you some packs to boot!

Again, this is for California residents only. And ONLY for people who can actually make the call on their own coverage (I reeeeally don't want anyone bugging a parent about this). PM me if you're interested!

Oh, and I did double-check with Bob to verify this would be okay to post. Just FYI!

Still no brave California residents have taken me up on this one. Anyone this week?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Sep 17 2009, 09:55 PM

For all the "nice idea" comments I got, not a single person willing to try yet!

Come on guys, help me with the strangest use of company resources I've come up with!

First set of packs actually went out in the mail today! Anyone else care for a few freebies?

Posted by: imacrackr Sep 20 2009, 09:55 PM

was i the first?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Sep 25 2009, 08:15 PM

Yep, you were the first. In fact, your cards should have arrived by now. Any luck?

Posted by: Tarasadie17 Sep 25 2009, 08:40 PM

Ah... Sam my friend, what a terrific idea... and I am just up the road from you....

BUT....

I am married to an insurance agent, and I like being married to her... so I'll pass...

but major props to you for a great idea...

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Sep 28 2009, 02:22 PM

That, I absolutely can't fault you for. The whole friends/family as your agent thing I completely respect (mainly given the fact that I'd be pretty miffed if any of my current family ditched me for another agent).

Thanks for the compliement, though!

Anyone else willing to give this a shot?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Oct 17 2009, 02:00 PM

Figured I might give this one more try!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan May 17 2011, 06:46 PM

I'm bringing this back from the deeeead.

I'm happy to say that I actually have a few clients from TCC at this point! Fun stuff, frankly. Being able to mix business and what I do for fun is a blast!

By the way, take a peek at a pull from a client of mine, from this very offer: http://twitpic.com/4z19gd
