Neat idea, but let's express the rules more clearly.
1) Boons have no cash value. No exchange of boons for cash is acceptable here. If you have no boons, you may offer other intangibles like custom art or an offer of service.
(Boons may also be given away at the owner's whim.)
2) State your boon trade requests in the following format:
3) Cross Campaign Trading is Allowed. You may of course trade PFS and SFS boons for one another.
4) Record the player numbers on the boon for both the recipient and the trader. Clear records discourage fraud and provide provenance!
5) No matter how you choose to exchange boons (in person, by mail, or electronically) please follow through on your trade in a timely manner.
6) Stay courteous & on topic. This thread is for boon exchanges. Keep side conversations to a minimum!
There's been some confusion in SFS about which boons are tradable or not.
- UNTRADEABLE BOONS
- Anything earned off a scenario chronicle.
- RSP GM Boons (at least for the first 12 slots that must be 'earned' by you for one of your own characters.) You can likely trade off the 24 games reward that allows you to gift a friend.
- The Alien Archive Player Boon, which must be earned for one of your own characters.
- Roleplaying guild guide boons, purchased with your fame. This includes all faction boons.
- Survey boons, again earned for you alone.
- TRADEABLE BOONS
- GM Race Boons from Conventions
- Player Boons from Conventions
- GM Minor Faction Boons from Conventions -- aka 'Manifold Host' (and future boons like it)
- The RSP GM reward for 24 slots that lets you share with a friend.

In case people are interested, I have put the Starfinder boon information of which I am aware on my boon spreadsheet. If you have text for boons I do not have, feel free to send it to me via PM.

Nice, this will do well with the boon sheets someone else has prepared, I have the text of the two Starfinder Boons you're missing (4 and 6) will PM you the text when I get a chance to write it out.

Want: Any non legacy Starfinder Boon (Couldn't make it to GenCon)
Have: On the Job Training,
Lingering Resonance
Personal Physician
Beat A.M.L
Will trade All if need be. Unfortunately I don't come across boons all that much, Pathfinder is becoming a second game to me. Most of my time effort and money will go into Starfinder.
Not really looking to play any Pathfinder Races. Want to play new exciting Aliens.

Can I suggest that people clearly denote if boons offered and requested are SFS or PFS? There aren't so many around yet that its too too hard to tell, but I think it may get more confusing as time goes on, and keeping down on miscommunications will help deals go more smoothly and amicably. Just my 2 coppers... Err, credits.
Excellent point.

Have: SFS Emergency Resupply boon
Emergency Resupply (Starship Boon; Limited Use) You have stockpiled reserves of extra ammunition onboard your starship. This can be used for a single reload during starship combat.
Benefit:When this boon is slotted, select one starship weapon with the limited fire special property on the group's starship. Once during starship combat, when the selected weapon runs out of ammunition, you can immediately reload the weapon back to its full capacity. When you choose to do this, cross this boon off the Chronicle sheet.
Want: SFS Micro Missile Battery. Will consider other SFS boons.

I'm holding a contest and offering up a Legacy race boon. If anyone else wants to join me and offer up a boon to the boonless, feel free. It would be fun if we could have multiple winners.

Have:
SFS Starfinder Legacy Race Boon
Want:
PFS Aasimar AND Tiefling creation Boons (no Ganzi writing needed)
OR
PFS Catfolk Boon (GenCon 2017 Tier 2 GM boon)
Wei Ji, are you willing to consider either a PFS aasimar or a tiefling for that Legacy boon rather than both?
Nevermind, this is for YOU. You may have both in trade for a Legacy Boon. Let’s maximize happiness here, and see you finally get your Ganzi.
PM sent.

Looking for one extra Legacy Race Boon for my contest. I have race boons that I am willing to trade for this, but I’d like to award more than one winner.
Thanks
Hmm
Sure i got one at a con recently and the contest was amusing (my legacy plan for Ky-rah snuck through with the use of the human option)
**just saw the other post - shout if you don't have any luck :) **

I am not going to pile on a given user-alias, though as mentioned PFS-thread, be aware of who one is dealing with, and be certain of their inclinations.
However, caution should ALWAYS be at the forefront of one's mind when trading boons.
I *used* to trade Boons electronically, and I can understand why there is a certain allure to doing so (and this is not a dig against technology).
However, after a 'physical trade' with a prolific forum user, the whole 'awesome' factor kicked in.
There's something to be said for getting the physical item in the mail -- hardly anyone sends mail these days, and it's this cool thing that makes it all the more special.
As a result, I have gone to physical-only trades.
I'm willing to take the time and spend the money to make sure the item gets to where it is going, and if necessary compensate the return trip if needed.
However, there are some users that do not appreciate this, and I'm at a loss to understand why.

Have - SFS legacy race boon
Want - other starfinder alien race
or hard to find PFS boon/s ?
Please use caution here. The RVCs recommend steering clear of trades with this particular alias.
Hmm

For those whose policy is physical trades only, how do you deal with boons earned online? Those are issued as PDF, not on paper. Someone certainly could print a copy and send it to you, but that's in some sense less 'original' than the pdf.
If there is a doubt to the authenticity of the boon (scans, etc), I will attempt to contact the leadership for the region of the boon-trader -- these are all documented, so if I send for say, the Minnesota area, I will get a response yay or nay as to whether someone played or GM'd a given event.
The official .pdf from Paizo have an entirely different look to them than scanned copies, without going into details.

My question was more about whether you would participate in such a trade.

If someone has the .pdf and prints it out, and puts in one of the data areas saying 'Traded from # to # on *date*', that'd resolve the issue and if there was a concern with the physical copy I'd address it as above.
It's not the *original* electronic bytes, but at that point, if I have received the only extant copy then the previous owner should delete their electronic copy.
That requires communication and follow-through, and trust.
It would also become VERY obvious if copies are being mass-produced, imo?
Is this answering the question you are asking, or am I missing the point you are trying to make?
That tangent aside, and somewhat returning to the reason for the thread:
What is the current listing of available Starfinder Society Boons?
