Trading Stuff Sites You Can Use To Swap Items

By Janine Hughes


There are hundreds of places online where it is possible to swap items with someone in the same state, country or even internationally. Trading stuff sites have become more and more popular as a way to get rid of unwanted items and find unique new things. Some of these things may end up being real treasures, having significant worth or 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.

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.

At SwapAce, practically anything can be traded. The list of items includes clothing, books, DVDs, CDs and games as all mentioned before. Additionally, electronics, tools and even cars can be traded at this source. Services and other miscellaneous categories are entered here as well.

Trading things is a good way to maintain a particular lifestyle and acquire new things without having to spend a great deal of money. Many times, one would only have to pay for shipping and delivery, if at all. When people can meet to trade after finding each other online, it's much better for the environment as well.
