What is a Vouch Copy?

I feel like an idiot but I still dont know what this is :/

It's someone selling something, gives you a copy for free and then you vouch for him saying if you liked the item or not.

It's basically a vouch copy. Someone selling something gives you a copy for free of the item he is selling for you to vouch for him.

Quite illiterate, if I do say so myself. Didn't answer his question very well.

Lets say you want to build up your graphic art portfolio. You can say "I am giving free vouch copies out". Now, you have examples of your work, and people can say "I vouch for him, he did good work". Now you have examples, and people vouching/recommending you. My profile picture was a vouch copy by someone wanting to build up a portfolio, and in return I will vouch for them. Does that help?

It is initially to prove your service's legitimacy. You give a discount copy or a free copy of it to a reputable member in exchange for a honest review from them, this attracts more buyers and less doubt/unrest to your service. It pretty much is proof that your service is what you claim it to be , that claim is backed up and supported by this person who received the vouch copy.

Sorry I guess. You can keep your harsh opinion for yourself.

It's something that people on this site have figured out on how to scam you out of your product to get something for free and leave a worthless review.

If you have no money invested in the product, you have no incentive to leave a bad review.

Just my 2 cents on this.

Nah, it's useful when you're fairly new to have well known/respected members say if your service/good is legit to attract potential buyers. Especially when people are skeptical, it can be a big thing.

they are less likely to say anything bad for the free copy, otherwise they won't get free copies from other people.

If you are known to give a bad rating for a vouch copy, you won't get many vouch copies.

The whole thing is too easily abused.
