I don't understand how this is better than just writing your email address on the item and have them contact you directly?!

- johnchristopher 14y agoFrom the FAQ: Do I get something in return? We offer all our finders a free 1-year subscription and a starter kit of tags to protect their property. No payment is needed. On top of this, five grand prizes are awarded each December to five finders. Prizes include $250 gift cards to iTunes, Amazon, and Macy's and a lifetime subscription to IsThisLost. I find this fun and good-spirited :) I am not sure about the monthly fee though, I'd rather get a set of nice sticker and keycard. I understand the middle-man/passive income thingy but it's a little bit hard to sell. On the other hand, 2$ isn't a lot and nothing bad should happen if the venture disappears.
- bjterry 14y agoIf I looked this up after finding someone's keys, I have to admit that I would be somewhat annoyed at them trying to acquire me as a customer and pretend like they are giving me a gift. I think it would be much better to offer a flat $25 reward to anyone who is willing to return the lost keys. Since people lose their keys only extremely rarely, I find it hard to believe this would "break the bank."
- MyKeysAreLost 14y agoTotally agree. We'll look into changing that policy. Is there a potential for abuse here?
