Swap
Sites
Are you looking
for something but don’t really want to spend the
money for it? Maybe you have items laying around your
house that you don’t need any more. Or maybe you are
good at painting a room, but what you really need done
is some plumbing work in your bathroom. Swap sites can
help you to find the services you need, either for a
price or for a trade.
Using swap sites
you can find the book you have been looking for, find
the CD you wanted but couldn’t afford or even trade
homes and cars. More and more swap sites are showing
up around the internet to help people connect and
trade items or services. Check out some of the sites
listed below:
Swap
@ Home
This site gives
you “coupons” to shop with. You earn 5 coupons
when you sign up and list five items you want to
trade. You earn more coupons whenever someone wants an
item you have posted. The advantage to this site is
that you do not need to wait until someone wants an
exact trade with you. Any member on the site can want
your item and you can shop from all the items other
people have posted.
U
Swap It
This site allows
you to add items you want and list what you would like
in return. You can post books, CDs, DVDs, video games,
electronics or anything else you would like to trade.
The site also has a live swap where you can make
immediate trades. You are also able to put in your zip
code to limit your swapping to your local area.
SwapTree.com
This site is
specifically for trading books, music, DVDs and video
games. When you post an item, you will immediately
find out what you can receive in trade for that item.
It also allows you to print the postage for shipping
directly from your computer.
If there is something you want, you also see
immediately what items you can trade to receive that
item.
U-Exchange.com
On this site, you
can trade services, products or anything else you can
think of. You can ask if someone is able to work on
your car in exchange for gardening at their house.
Whatever you have to offer, you can trade. Because
many people exchange services, this site allows you to
search locally.
