Ok I have a bunch of Coupons and I want to trade. My question is how do you know what to ask for. I see some people saying GC or stamps. Is there a formula or anyway to know how you value what you have to put in what you want? I just don't want to offer up coupons and not know what to ask for in return without making someone think I am asking too much or not asking for enough and not getting the same value of what i traded.

I hope this makes sense.

thanks!!!

Usually, I have traded coupons for other coupons of the same value, or stamps or CC or GC for 10% of the value of the coupon. So for $1 coupon, you would trade 10 cents or 4 or 5 $1 coupons for one stamp. Everyone is different and some may want more or less depending on how popular the coupon is but that at least is a starting point.

I am a pretty easy-going trader. I don't like taking the time to type everything up. I usually match "everything I can, 25 - 50 coupons" from a person's wishlist, and I just ask that they do the same in return.

If I can't match their list but still really want to trade, then I might list a few things I do have, or offer to send more "Potluck" - like 100 that don't nec. match their list.

I personally never pay for coupons, other than the stamp on a trade. I guess I'm just too cheap!

Good luck!
