Activities
For people with trade lists already:
1. Please post a link to your lists and talk about your experience setting them up and where you post them (in the thread or on your profile).
2. Do you trade for things other than coupons? If so why?
For people just making a tradelist for the first time:
1. Find a tradelist or a wishlist that you think is easy to read and well organized. Share the name of SCer who has created the trade list and link to it.
