What is a coupon worth?

[booklover]

How much is a coupon really worth in trades? I know the value of the coupon is in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. For example, I breastfed my DD, so the $5 off Similac coupons mean nothing to me, but is highly valued to someone who is still bottlefeeding their baby.

What are winetag instant off coupons really worth? These are $1 off produce, and $1 off total grocery purchase, NWPR, and valid in all states. If I trade them for a giftcard, what value can I put on them?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm trading these, and want to make fair trades.

Thanks!

I normally attach a 10% face value to all coupons regardless of the type. There are others who will attach less & some more.

10%..

If you're trading coupons for giftcards, I go 10% of the coupon value. If you're trading coupon for coupon, I usually try and get as close as possible to face value equal trades (winetags included). Paypal for coupons, 10% unless it's a free coupon (and to me, that's worth a little more). Oh, and I always add postage.

Aren't winetags usually traded at a higher value than 10% though? I don't really know, since we don't have them here and I don't really use them, but I seem to remember people saying they are traded at up to 30%.

Yep I do the same...if its cash/paypal I add .44 for the shipiing if I am the seller. I pay 10% & shipping if I buy and trade coupons for as close the same face value also...if its a free item coupon or one that makes for a free item or overage I might pay a little more than 10% or give a few extra coupons in a coupon trade......

I would like to add that people who can pay 30% or more may have stores that triple or even double a higher value coupon which I dont. I have to drive 30/40 min one way to get to kroger and they only double up to .50.......so those people can pay more for them than us who dont have stores in their town that doubles/triples...so to you sellers that can get that from some buyers please keep this in mind that 30% is a little to much for some of us, not just because we dont want to pay that but because it dont help us as much as it dose people that can double/triple most all coupons that use..

Thanks for all the replies. I'm negotiating trades with some members for these, hopefully everyone will be happy with their trades.

Good to know! I'm new here and would like to trade some of the multiples from 5/1.

A wine tag for $1 off any groceries valid in any state??? Why would you get rid of that!!!

[booklover]

I keep finding these winetags EVERYWHERE. No one else is taking them and using them. I take a few, and leave some. I go back and there's MORE. (I swear, it's like they are breeding. ) So then I take a few and trade those for things I'd like to have: FREEs, giftcards, stamps.
