Trading Stuff Sites You Can Use To Swap Items

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 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 book-swapping website where users post the titles of the books they would like to get rid of. These titles are then requested by others and posted in return for points. Using these points, users can then request the titles they want from other users on the site. It's a great way to find specific literature, and the rarer the works, the more points up for grabs.

Other book-swapping resources include What's On My Bookshelf and Paperback Swap. However, Swaptree allows you to swap not only books, but also video games, DVDs and CDs. There are a number of links here to follow. You can also check out SwitchPlanet and BrassicPark to swap in any of these categories.

SwapAce includes swapping and trading in books, video games, CDs, DVDs and a number of other different categories. Practically any item can be traded here. You will see tabs to access tools, cars and electronics to trade. You can also even trade services and then there is a miscellaneous category.

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.
