Trading Stuff Sites To Find New Things

By Janine Hughes


There are hundreds of places online where it is possible to swap items with someone in the same state, country or even internationally. Trading stuff sites have become more and more popular as a way to get rid of unwanted items and find unique new things. Some of these things may end up being real treasures, having significant worth or value.

Some websites are specific to certain types of items only. For example, there are a number of clothes-swapping businesses online that allow users to sell, buy or swap designer shoes and apparel, which is a great way of saving money and getting further use out of many designer pieces that are most often only used once or just a few times. Other online sources specialize in swapping household items, furniture and other goods.

SwapStyle is one of those sites where you will find designer goods for your wardrobe. You can also get accessories and shoes as well as clothes. It is free to use this site, and you can pay 10 dollars to be able to verify your address, which gives others peace of mind once they have decided to do a transaction with you. You can find things from practically anywhere in the world with SwapStyle.

Dig N Swap is a site where there is no buying or selling, but purely swapping. Reviews on this source are positive in terms of ease of use and swapping structure. Clothing Swap Meetups works a little differently, and perhaps more conveniently, by allowing users to search for items by location and then meeting up to exchange with other individuals. This is more environmentally conscious, although it may be limiting for some locations.

BookMooch is a website that allows users to post titles of their unwanted literature and send them to the requester for points. These points can be accumulated and then used to purchase books from other users. It's a great way to find specific titles that may no longer be in print and the more valuable the book, the more points one can receive.

Other sites to swap books include Paperback Swap and What's On My Bookshelf. Swaptree is a great resource online to find these websites, as well as offer links to online locations that also swap or trade DVDs, CDs and video games. SwitchPlanet and BrassicPark, like SwapTree, allows people to trade these items in particular.

At SwapAce, practically anything can be traded. The list of items includes clothing, books, DVDs, CDs and games as all mentioned before. Additionally, electronics, tools and even cars can be traded at this source. Services and other miscellaneous categories are entered here as well.

The benefits of finding online sources to trade items one no longer has use for include finding useful items at zero cost or a fraction of the cost to buy it new. Furthermore, being able to trade with people in the same vicinity allows for more environmentally sound transactions, reducing the need for shipping and delivery and also the costs associated with same. In current economic climate, this is a perfect way to continue to acquire new things on a budget.
