By Janine Hughes


When you buy an item of clothing or a toy for your child, it will only have a certain life before your child outgrows it either physically or mentally. Good quality clothes and toys are not cheap however; many people choose to buy second hand items of baby gear to cut costs. As well as buying second hand items however you can swap stuff online; its fun, easy, and hassle free.

Bidding for items on websites can be fun, but it can work out costly when you get carried away; you will also be charged for sales that you make. This method of purchasing second hand items can actually work out to be expensive; you need to forget such sites and auctions and simply start interchanging your gear with people you find over the Internet.

Swap shops are immensely popular and you will find social media sites are full of such pages in your local area. Set up in a group format you will need to ask to join the group and you must play fair at all times. Once you become a member simply get posting the items you wish to change, giving a description of your items as what you want in exchange.

As well as swapping items, you may be able to buy them outright; this will always depend on the site that you are using. When you simply interchange items over the Internet no money needs to change hands and you can obtain new clothes, games, toys, and even a new car.

When your children are busy growing, you can choose to find another family to change clothes and games with. When you have children of similar ages, changing toys and clothes is easy and simple and it stops you spending money on brand new items. When your child becomes bored of her latest toy, simply change it for one she likes; it really is that simple.

Exchanging of clothes and games is extremely popular after the Christmas season; simply change the present or gift you do not need or want for one that you really want. Exchanging items of the same approximate value is a fail proof method of keeping all your family members happy.

Find sites that have been set up for the exchange of goods, and read their rules or terms and conditions before you become a member. Exchanging faulty goods will often result in you being removed or blocked from the page; so always play fair and you will be treated fairly too.

Look around your home today and take some snaps of items that you no longer want or use that are in good condition, posting them on your site as you go.
