trading for postage stamps

[OldMom]

I'm somewhat new at trading coupons. Most of you have a list of available coupons to trade. There is the odd time that I get contacted by someone who does not have any coupons to trade or doesn't have a list. I was told by them that usually traders on this site will trade $5 worth of coupons for 1 postage stamp and that it's a good deal since we get the coupons we trade for free. That's a $5 trade in exchange for a $0.59 stamp...but then there is the cost of the stamp to mail the coupons to them.

Since I'm somewhat new at this and I don't like to refuse a trade, since we are all into this to save money, I'm looking for your feedback on this.

Do you trade coupons in exchange for postage stamps and what is your ratio of stamps per dollars of coupons.

Thanks for all your help!

This is the rate I go by. But everyone is different

I don't trade coupons for stamps... I figure that actual coupons are worth more to me so I'm much happier getting actual coupons.

i don't think you will get a right or wrong answer here. It all depends on who or what you are trading with....
