Ask HN: startup idea - Market place for unused coupons?
Market place for unused coupons.
I thought about creating a marketplace where people can exchange coupons they purchased from sites like Groupon, but haven't used yet.
Do you think this is a good idea? anyone implemented this yet in the USA?
- rick888 15y agoI believe that Groupon gives refunds, but it still might work with other sites.
- steventruong 15y agoThere are a few that already exist if you just do a quick Google search: http://www.lifesta.com/ http://www.lifesta.com/ http://www.dealigee.com/ http://www.dealigee.com/ http://www.dealsgoround.com/ http://www.dealsgoround.com/ http://couprecoup.com/ http://couprecoup.com/ Now if you're talking about non-Groupon type coupons as well such as regular retail coupons, there are a few of those as well including the major bargain aggregating communities. Some are definitely successful businesses. Whether or not it's a good idea is up to you (it's going to be subjective for everyone). Just because you have an idea for a social network doesn't mean you'll be a Facebook. You could be one of the other thousands of unknown networks. It's all about how you execute.
