Trading Stuff Sites To Find New Things

By Janine Hughes


It is easy to find endless sources on the Internet to trade things. You can find people from anywhere who are willing to swap something they have for something you have. Using these trading stuff sites is a really great way to find unique things that may even have some serious value.

Some swapping sites only allow specific items to be traded. One example of this is apparel and accessories. There are a number of online locations where one can sell what they have, buy new things or even swap with someone to create a new wardrobe. For those inclined towards designer goods, this is an excellent way to save money, especially as most designer apparel is worn just once or twice and will often be practically new as a result. Other examples of items traded online include things for the home such as furniture and decor.

SwapStyle is one of the first and most popular online sources for buying, selling and trading clothes, accessories and footwear. It is free to sign up for an account and users from all over the world can post and acquire items. For a mere ten dollars, users can give one another added confidence and security when conducting transactions by having their address verified.

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.

At BookMooch, the process is all about posting the titles of the literature you have to give away and waiting for people to request them. When you send off the books, you will receive points that you can then use to request books from others. The more valuable the title, the more points you can get as a result.

Paperback Swap and What's On My Bookshelf are two other great sites where literature can be swapped. However, at a source like SwapTree, Internet users can find links to resources that allow them to trade CDs, DVDs and video games, as well as books. BrassicPark and SwitchPlanet also allow the trading of all these categories.

SwapAce is the ultimate swap stop and almost anything can be swapped here. This includes tools, electronics and cars, and even services, in addition to the categories previously mentioned. There is also a miscellaneous button for any item that does not fall into these categories.

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.
