We bring only the coupons that we are willing to "say good-bye" to. Each person should put their coupons in a folder (or envelope, bag, etc.). The folders will be passed around the table and everyone will take what they can use. Based on my experience last time around, we all took a great bunch of coupons home! For me, it worked better than any of the trains I have been on and there is no postage or waiting involved.
(I don't think there is anything preventing anyone from working out a coupon trade with another member via PMs beforehand and completing the trade there. Other veterans can correct me if I am wrong.)
