Unhappy Selling coupons via the web? or more ideas on how to make some quick cash

i just recently got laid off from a dot commer, and am trying to think of ways to earn some extra cash during the time i'm waiting for my severance and unemployment.

i swear i have seen people moving around coupons on this site, but do they get paid for doing it? like if i could sell a $1.00 coupon for 50 cents, heck that'd be worth it.

any other ideas on how to make some money, on and off the web?

i am going to be selling some things on e-bay, and i just had a garage sale, so i've got a start, so far.

thank you so much for the help!

melissa

selling coupons is illegal. I think instead it's referred to as "trading" or selling it for a 'handling fee'. well that's all I know about that.

sorry about the layoff

I've bought coupons on eBay(a 20 coupon lot that will save me $150 on Purina One dog food in the end!) 20X$ 9.49=$189.80 less $40(my winning bid). For me it was well worth the $40 to save $150.
I've bid/won other coupons as well (stuff that I purchase on a regular basis). If you look on eBay people actually sell a LOT of Sunday coupon flyers. So you sit and cut, cut, cut then list them on eBay. DH has been laid off several times (soul provider these days too) and it's NO FUN!
Take care and best of luck to you!
Naomi

Coupons are not on the list of items that aren't allowed (to be sold) on eBay.........

People sell coupons in groups of 10,20,etc.......Our 4 yr old LOVES Weaver mini- drums. Got a bunch of $1.00/2 coupons for next to nothing. My DH was on a tortilla chip/salsa kick for a while so I found someone that was selling .75 coupons for Chi-Chi salsa. I think I paid $2.00(if THAT) for a BUNCH of them. Plus, my grocery store was tripling up to 6 coupons(up to .99) so I was getting $2.25 off. The store had a special and was running them on special for 2/3.00 so I was MAKING $$ on the deal. LOL
Love it!
