I have a question and am not wanting to start anything, I just want a straight forward answer. First let me say that I love this board and I love coming here and getting my coupons. <P>However, I just noticed that tons of people are looking for huggies wipes or diapers $3/2 coupons. I see that several people are asking .50 for them (which I think is extremely high). I don't use wipes or diapers. My baby is 18 so I am not sure why someone would charge so much for them? I did notice that not ALL people are charging that much, just several of them. Are the diapers/wipes cheap or free with these coupons?<P>So this got me to thinking, it always seems that supply and demand does drive coupon prices up. For example, the uni-lever booklets, powerade coupons, wine tags, etc. etc.. Do you think of this as price gouging? I always end up giving hot coupons away to my friends when I find them.<P>Do you think it is fair? Is it "just a business thing" to you or does it make you seethe inside. Just curious so please don't verbally beat me up for asking.<P>Barb<P><P>
1|1|Hmmmm, well, I trade coupons for hfs to afford things for my kids.  It is my &quot;spending money&quot;....so when things are hot and people are OFFERING to pay .20 a coupon....I don't have a problem with asking that much (though I tend to see what people are asking and ask a little less...something is going for .25 and I will ask .20.   I really see it as a supply/demand thing.  I also trade IN for coupons...and if something is more than I can afford....I skip it.   I have been disappointed having to do so...but figure they have the right to ask what they want and I have the right to hope someone else has a better price or that they will come down.  |Barb09|Barb0969@AOL.com|06:48:09|07/22/2009|<center><font size="1" color="#000099" class="f_postedon">Posted on Jul-22-09 at 06:48 AM (Eastern) by 196.206.205.178</font></center><p>I looked and looked and found no coupons for troll food......SO, I don't feed the trolls!!
