What do you think trades should be worth?

[KK7]

yes and the chart was made up in 2009!!! Needs updating

[fishinmom]

I think Anne's quotes are fair. The values seem reasonable for both parties involved. I use coupons to save money, if I'm not saving there is not point in collecting or using them right? If I am having to pay for the coupons to save $0.50 on Toilet Paper it no longer becomes worth it.

Some people are using couponing as a competition to see how much they can save at the cash register and don't even seem to realise they spent $50 to say $40?????

I'm glad this thread is being updated because I had a newbie offer me 3 stamps for a J&J Replacement coupon and a $5.oo FPC lol.

I am sure they didn't realize how much the coupon is really worth.

• $5 GC to store $100 hand picked coupons
• $5 GC to Amazon (some people view them as lesser as swagbucks and survey people get them 'free' for their work compared to spending cash)
• Book of P stamps (will be $6.67 in Jan) As many coupons as you want from my Trade List
• whatever else you trade for I may have missed

hopefully we can come up with a more up to date list for people trading so they know what is expected

Now that's just me... I figure if I'm not using a coupon it's just a worthless piece of paper I'll hold a funeral for at the end of the month anyways so anything I get for 'em is still more than what I had prior to trading.

I LAUGH at people who PM me for a trade and ask me to send extra stamps if what I ask for from their trade list exceeds what I'm sending by $1.

TSK TSK! I have you on my Naughty list.

PS.. I have a lot of March 31st expiries... feel free to PM me if you're looking for something

I'm not sure if they did or not however I informed them and offered another trade and didn't hear back. I think a nice little overhaul of the trade rates is great.

is a 5$ giftcard reasonable for these 3 coupons? I made an offer and was told they would pass bacause "the FPC for Sensations alone is worth $7.99" Was i unreasonable in my offer?
FPC Stouffers Saute Sensations
FPC Any Stouffers Bistro Product
FPC any Stouffers Single Serve Entree

I think it's unreasonable. You're asking for $5 for a $13 value.

I'd pass

Or did you offer a $5 GC? If you did that's way too high.

[francine1985]

i offered them a 5$ chapters certificate for those 3 coupons

[MercyEhm]

Oh lord and she turned it down?!? LOL add her to your greedy list and don't trade with her.

[FallenPixels]

I hate this highest value of a FPC crap - like any of us buy Sensations when it is over $5!

And the new thing with buying the Bistro on club boxes so suddenly its worth $13-15 only the highest I have seen the club packs is $11 and since I like certain flavours of crustinis which are not in club packs - I get $3 worth out of them

oh and hi Mercy

[francine1985]

ok thanks. i thought my offer was generous but when it was turned down I was wondering if i had misunderstood trade values or something. i am not prepared to give a gift card for the full value of a coupon.(chapters was on their wishlist)

[TinkerBella23]

Lol, i have those 3 coupons and will gladly trade for a $5 Chapters lol!

[MercyEhm]

Hi Pix

I know! It's crazy what people what for FPCs. I get it, it's "free" but damn it all to hell if I'll give you my son in exchange! (try me again when he's 13)

If you aren't going to eat it then it's worthless... get over it. Throw it away or trade it for something you need... quit trying to rape people out of their stash! I get that there are suckers out there and you can always find one to take your crappy offer but I have to ask how good you'd feel about yourself knowing you screwed over a Noob. *shakes head*

This is why my Greedy Biatch list is an ever growing weed!!
