I have bought fake 10% and 20% Home Depot coupons on Ebay before. Typically, Lowes will match the fake Home Depot coupons, but unless you find a newbie cashier at Home Depot with a deadbeat manager to approve the coupon, they will tell you that they need a barcode to scan. These coupons are all over Ebay. The most common ones are on Glossy Cardstock Paper that appears real, but are excellent reproductions of what used to be given as a promotional coupon, with the expiration date removed. They Read 10% OFF at the top of the coupon in large black letters. All 20% off Home Depot coupons that are not promotional coupons from Mastercard, where you have to use your Home Depot Mastercard to apply the discount are fake. ALL 20% OFF HOME DEPOT COUPONS WITH A PERFORATED TOP AND MAROON STRIPE ON THE BOTTOM ARE FAKE. The original 20% off coupons were Christmas gifts for employee use only. The reproduced ones are nothing more than a glossy piece of paper run through a laser printer, then a perforating machine. I have been taken advantage of with both types of coupons and luckily got my money back through PayPal's protection policy. Always pay for coupons through PayPal or you can be taken advantage of very easily.
