here's my .02.
If you work 2 weekends, you have essentially earned $300 (4 days at $75 each). However, in some instances monetary compensation is not available, and in others the credits are more appealling. I like credits b/c I can't spend them and then I know that I will be on track. The availability to sell credits is just a nicety for those people involved who won't be on track and would to convert them into cash. Of course, in order to sell them, there will have to be a discount, but there shouldn't be much of one. If somebody wanted to buy credits from me, there's no way I'd go less than $250, and that would be solely to facilitate the sale.
Sadly, I only have 2 weekends of credits left from my stockpile; one for VIR in Feb, and 1 for Linds in Oct (which will be reimbursed when she starts working events).
