Swap unwanted Books, CDs, DVDs and games

Do you have unwanted books, CDs, DVDs or video games at home that you don't know what to do with? I do and I wanted to get rid of them so I started looking at my options. I had about a dozen books and 20 CDs that I didn't want any more. I checked on some websites that buy back used CDs and I was only going to get a few cents for them that way. Next, I went to a local used CD store and they offered me a whopping $5.00 store credit in exchange for all 20 CDs. I wasn't satisfied with any of these options, so I kept looking. I finally found a website that offered me a solution that really fit my needs. It is called Swaptree.

The idea is pretty simple. You sign up to become a member for free. Then you list all of the items you have that you want to trade and what their condition is. You can list books, CDs, DVDs or video games. Then, you add items that you want to your want list. If you have an amazon.com wishlist, you can simply upload it in seconds. Or, you can just search for items you want and then add it to your list. Then, the site will try to find matches for you to swap with someone who has what you want and vice versa. If there is a potential match found, you can initiate a trade with the other member. You can trade any one item for another. For example, I could trade a CD for a book, CD, DVD or game. In addition to letting you know if you can get an item on your want list, the site will also let you browse through all the items you could get in exchange for an item you list for trade. Once a trade is accepted by both parties, you are sent the address of who to send your item to. The site even gives you the option to print out a postage paid shipping label that you can use and save yourself a trip to the post office. They charge your credit card once a month for all the postage you bought in the past month plus a $1 convenience charge total. Pretty great, huh?

I've been on the site for a little over a week now and I've already sent and received 2 trades. It feels great to be getting rid of things I don't need and getting new things in return that I do want for just the cost of postage! There are various other trading sites out there such as this, but this is the only one I've found that allows you to trade books, CDs, DVDs and games in one place.

Check out Swaptree, I think you'll love it!

Happy Swapping!
