[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can buy boxtops on ebay - seriously!!!!

Also ask your family members - mom, aunts/uncles to save them, too.[/quote]
As a box tops school coordinator, I can say that officially this is not allowed. Obviously, they have no way of enforcing this rule. However, there is a chance that the purchased box tops are counterfeit. Also, it is beyond ridiculous that someone will spend money to buy them online just so their kid's class can win a contest. The money from submitted box tops can only go to a school or PTA and never to an individual person. [/quote]

Right now there are over 100 auctions for box tops.  THis is the low season as not many schools do their competitions this late in the year so the number is lower than normal.[/quote]
Just because they are for sale on ebay does not make it right. General Mills (the company that runs the box tops program) makes it very clear that purchasing box tops is not allowed. Not only are some of them faked, but it is a charity program for funding schools and it is not intended to line people's pockets. [/quote]
