What do you think trades should be worth 2.0

[Dave Dave]

This is a great place to start reading. I agree with ethgc being double the value I have peeked at my Girlfriends couponing, and when she auctions off a $20 - $25 GC she takes around $40 - $50 in coupons including FPC's and regular ones.
edit - my gf is cherie a memeber here, Sorry guys did not mean to ruffle any feathers and I meant to put 40 to 50. Shes happy with

Is this the entire trade? Its very small....

No actually, it isn't, because I never said it was the entire trade. I was using these values as examples. Unfortunately I didn't make that clear in my question. The second example listed was actually the person offering to trade me 11 of her V8 juices for 22 of my POMS. I declined that one.

The first example listed was me trying to figure out whether a FPC would be worth a 1:5 ratio to B1G1 coupons. I've had some really oddball offers on that chapmans coupon (one person with a trade listing of over 300 offered me 5x $1.00 astro yogurt in exchange for it... seriously, that was her whole trade offer) but I've mostly only traded just regular coupons. The example wasn't meant to reflect her entire trade because I was fine with the rest of the trade. The rest had $5 in regular coupons on both sides so I considered it equal. As far as if a $5 HV(FPC) is equal to $7.50 in B1G1s, I didn't know. Apparently, it hurts to ask. Below is the exchange, unedited except for our names:

Hi xxxxx,

Thanks for contacting me. I don't think I'd like to trade the chapmans for the B1G1 whiskas... I have a bunch of the whiskas on the way from another trade I just did, and the chapmans is pending another trade.

I do like the rest you've offered though:

2 X $1 Pom juice
1 X $1.00 PHILADELHIA Roasted Garlic Spread, Nov. 13, 2012 05536809 ** if this is not a printable** (no it was mailed from save.ca)
1 X $1.00 KRAFT COOL WHIP any size, Dec. 31, 2012 05534092
1 X $1.00 any BUITONI PIZZA, Dec. 31, 2012 10034646

for

1 X $1.00 Arthur's Smoothie, 900mL, Sept 30, 2012 59013990
4 X $1.00 Arthur's Smoothie, 900mL, Dec 31, 2012 59014036

That's only a $5 trade though and I can't find your trade list so if you see anything else on my list let me know and maybe we could do something a little bigger.

No thanks.

I don't appreciate the post in the thread alomost 2 hrs before you PM me.
Your post is misleading, you didn't include the entire trade I oferred. For some reason you have chosen to pick apart the trade. I never offered only Tempations for Chapmans. The enitre offer actually consisted of me sending you $15 worth of coupons you had marked as RRLF and 5 of them BOGOs, in returned you'd send me only $10 including the Chapmans.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but posting about that chapmans wasn't about you at all and it certainly wasn't about picking your trade offer apart either. I edited out the $1 coupons because they seemed equal to me, that's all. I was just using the chapmans for B1G1 as an example, yours was certainly not the only offer I've received and it certainly isn't the only offer I've had questions about. I'm not sure why asking about trades in a trades thread should be offensive.

Anyways, again, I'm sorry if I've offended you but it wasn't intended to single you out. Have a good evening.

~ Pepper.

And there you have it. An attempt at an explanation and an apology, but no acknowledgement of either. I don't know what more I can possibly do to fix it. Maybe you can ask her; she's in your friends list.

Either way, the chapmans is gone, I don't have to deal with any aggro over it anymore , and if I ever get another one I'll take it to the store and use it myself.

Pepper,

The "fight" you are looking for isn't going to happen.

Good luck with your future trades.

Happy Couponing,
Pumpkin

Pepper, while you felt the other coupons were equal, they may not have actually been, its not fair to compare a partial trade without all the details. It doesn't hurt at all to ask, but it does hurt to mislead people over the trade as it will annoy or upset the trader (as it has obviously) and the information given by traders on here will not be fair to them since its based on partial info.

I had a newbie ask me what I think the new $5 tena coupons should be valued at. I honestly don't know so I thought I'd post here for her.

The coupon costs about $1.13 to buy the first pack and gives about $4 in overage and then quickly multiplies from there.

what is the recommended exchange rate for RRLF HV/FPC coupons, (e.g., the $2 old dutch) to stamps? Thank you!

When I traded Old dutch, I asked for a $5 GC for 15 coupons, the coupons are a little difficult to find, and I had to pay $3 to get on the subway to get them.
Earlier I saw a post in the trade section where someone was asking for a $10 GC for 10 chip coupons, ridiculous!

[LoveCpn]

Thanks Luisa! You're such a generous trader. I've checked your TL but did not find anything on my WL, I will check back often and hope to trade with you someday.

Oh did not read the part that you even paid $3 for subway...Wow... so it's $2 GC for $30 coupons

They are not that easy to get if someone steals all the booklets from the station, at mine, she said she was putting the books on the rack and someone walked off with the box she was stocking from! crazy

• $10 worth of HV coupon(s) - same / $3 GC / $20 reg coupons
• $20 hand picked coupons - 5 stamps

Personally, I traded 7 stamps for 10 of them

[LoveCpn]

I think that's fair, Thank you very much, FallenPixels!! It is hard to get, plus heavy to carry home and clip off, esp. when you found what you carried home actually dont have coupons in anymore I do hate those who tear off the coupon then put the magzine back on rack!!!

No because I did a few trades for a $5 GC (just being honest)

I disagree with this. Ever since someone posted it in the brag section stores were cleared out within days of those sample packs. The sample packs were a one time item that stores will not be restocking so therefore the coupons are now essentially worthless in terms of overage as you won't find those sample packs anymore. Just thought I would add my two cents since my mom has asked me to look for more $5 coupons for her since she actually uses this product every day.



Now, main reason I came here. The first post is a little confusing on trading aeroplan pins. I have 2 10pt pins what would these be worth in terms of regular coupon exchange rate?

[marnel]

how much would the Oasis booklet be worth when trading? thanks

What are you disagreeing with? That I said it multiplies from there? I was just going on what was happening at the time. Clearly if the stores aren't restocking then it changes the situation and the value of the coupon. That's good information to have, and why this thread exists, thanks for sharing.

I traded 3 x $5 Amazon.ca GC codes for 10 sets of the Oasis coupons. Probably on the high side but all I did was sit on Swagbucks for the codes and I really wanted the coupons. I can stack, so the coupons are probably more valuable to me than to someone who can't.
