Was it hard for you to get your folks to believe that this was real? It took me two months to get my family to believe me! Let's hear your stories!

Well, I just started this less than 2 weeks ago. I havn't even told my parents yet. I am waiting until I get things shipped to the house. Then let them know. I am in Maryland for the summer, so they have no idea I am even doing it. But, for the items, I put my home address to ship them to, just incase I am back down there before some of them ship. Basically, I will tell them the whole story when the first item comes.

Careful that they don't think you're stealing. My parents probably would have thought that I was if I was doing this a few years back.

I am 20, and have their full trust, so no, I am not worried about that.
Plus, i have all the proof here, and in emails D

i told my parents about it a little bit when i was doing psps4free (while i was slaving in my bedroom on this forum getting referrals). my mom knew that my cousin got the shuffle from it then i told her i got $250 from psps4free. now they believe.

it was impossible trying to get my brother-in-law to believe me....even when i got my shuffle he didnt believe me, and then when i got my iPod he still had his suspicions....maybe when i get my desktoppc he will believe me D

I just told my gf about it last night after I have a bunch of trades done, and I couldn't get it through to her how a site like Gratis is able to give away free stuff for people just completing those offers. I told her I had my macmini coming soon, so maybe when I get it she'll believe me, or maybe she'll get pissed at me and think I bought it ( Oh well no worries I'm getting free stuff even if I do waste hours on this forum to do so )

I think that my family will be convinced when I finally receive something, if even then.

I think my family just took my word for it when they did their offers. My friends didn't believe me until I got my free PC. Pricks.
ya.. my mom still thinks im dealing drugs... whateva
No one believed me until I shown them my 20gig iPod priced at $300. And they still don't want to help.

My brother (Diggity not "Diggety") convinced me...
There was a lot of begging and pleading. and it was only $9 to do an offer.
