A long time ago, people used to trade items back and forth… and they’re still doing it today. When they do this, they don’t give money for the items. It’s called Bartering… or trading. Perhaps you have items sitting around your house that you just don’t use or need anymore. They could be things like books, CDs, or video games. If you try to sell these things, you get virtually nothing for them. Why not trade them with someone and get something in return you’ve been wanting? This is where Swaptree.

You list the books, CDs, DVDs, and video games that you want to get rid of and the books, CDs, DVDs and video games that you want and swaptree does the rest.

Swaptree will show you all of the items that you can receive for your items. Clicking on a “GET NOW” link next to an item will show more information about both the item and the trader you will be receiving the item from.

If you decide that you want to initiate a trade for an item, then an e-mail will automatically be sent to the other parties in the transaction. If the other traders accept, the trade is completed and you will then be provided the shipping address where you need to ship your item.

All trades on swaptree are one-for-one, meaning that you will trade one item and receive one item in return, and therefore all items have the same value. Therefore, make sure when you list the items on your “have list” that you are willing to trade any one of those items for any item on your “want list”.

What a fantastic idea this is! It’s super-easy to sign up and get started, and it really does work. Not only can you save yourself money by not having to buy books anymore… you’re also doing your part in “being Green”. Two-fer-one! Score!
