Trading Stuff Sites To Find New Things

By Janine Hughes


There is a limitless amount of online resource allowing people to swap their unwanted things with others who may be in the same area or who may live in an entirely different part of the world altogether. These online resources have grown in popularity over the past few years, giving individuals the opportunity to source interesting new things for their home and lifestyle after making room by clearing out the things they no longer need or use. Items acquired through trading stuff sites may turn out to be quite valuable as well.

You'll find that many sites only specialize in the trading or swapping of particular items or categories. One of these is often clothes and shoes, and there are loads of online places to find apparel and get rid of your own to create an entirely new wardrobe. There are even sites that specialize in swapping designer brand items. This is really good way for you to save some money by not having to buy it at full retail cost. Other examples of specific item sites are those that only deal with swapping furniture or other household goods.

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.

At Dig N Swap, there is no selling or buying done. This website is 100% about swapping. Many reviews find this particular source to be one of the best in terms of user-friendliness and the way the swapping is structured. At Clothing Swap Meetups, users will prefer the option to search for items by their location or zip code. This is a more eco-friendly option as individuals can then meet to hand over their goods.

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.

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.

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.

Why would you want to swap or trade online? For starters, it's a great way to save money, be a little or a lot, which goes a long way in the current climate of the economy. Secondly, it helps you to be just a little bit more environmentally friendly by saving on shipping and delivery if you happen to find something in your area. Furthermore, you never know what you could find without breaking the bank!
