Top Trading Stuff Sites To Swap Items

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.

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 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.

BookMooch is a website that allows users to post titles of their unwanted literature and send them to the requester for points. These points can be accumulated and then used to purchase books from other users. It's a great way to find specific titles that may no longer be in print and the more valuable the book, the more points one can receive.

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.

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.
