This is usually the thing that most new users need at the beginning of the game.And they tend to trade coins for money.PLEASE DO NOT trade coins for money.You can always ask someone to give money for free if they are happy to help.you can also pm [you must login to view links]
Say you own a pokemon worth 1k and another worth 1.5k and you see a pokemon you like which is rated at around 3k. Yes, there is a 0.5k difference, but give it a go.
Make an offer and who knows, they may accept it?
Note:-If the level of the pokemon is above level 5 then it's rate is usually lower(because it has been tampered like a used car)
Note 2 :-the rate of normal shinies is about 50-60 coins.do not overpay unless it's rare or a legendary.

Another aspect of creed where new players are most confused.Usually they tend to ask how do you people have so high leveled pokemon?The answer is simple.The right way to train and hours of training.Don't be shocked but people have clicked a million times to make their pokes level so high.Highly recommended to get a pokemon with toxic/tm toxic from dept.store for faster training.
