Millions of Books, CDs, DVDs, and Video Games Available

While bartering for goods has occurred since the beginning of time, a new consumer trend is emerging as people look to save money and reduce their environmental footprint (to make yourself feel better)- by swapping their stuff online.

Leading the way in the online swap movement is Swaptree.com, which gives consumers the option to trade in books, CDs, DVDs and video games they already have for items they actually want. There is no money exchanged as swappers pay only for shipping (generally under $3), so the site represents an enormous opportunity for cost-savings, versus buying the products off the shelf.  (It’s also great for clearing out the old stuff that’s just collecting dust around your house.)

Once registered on the site, members set up a “have” list and a “want” list. Then, the site’s two- and three-way trade algorithms instantly find all of the items members can receive in exchange for the items they “have.” Unlike traditional online trading websites, which typically focus on one type of media, Swaptree.com allows for cross-media trades. So, you can trade in your summer reads for a Madden NFL game, or swap a CD you’re totally sick of for the latest John Grisham.

Referred to as “the eBay of Swap” by mainstream media outlets, Swaptree.com provides an easy, feel good way for people to recycle the stuff they have and get things they want. In 2009 alone, Swaptree.com members conducted more than 1 Million swaps on the site; saved members $5,549,058; and enabled members to reduce their carbon footprint by 5,011,078 pounds, in total.

The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one’s own even more, one’s own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being.

The connections that you make early in your career will take you far. After 20 years it is still true for me. This has been true regarding companies I worked for and those I worked with. All you have written is excellent advice.

A doctor today would never prescribe the treatments my grandfather used in the Confederate Army, but a minister says pretty much the same thing today that a minister would have said back then.What do you think?

The TWG voted to boycott both formats unless the two camps agreed on a single, converged standard. Lou Gerstner, president of IBM, was recruited to apply pressure on the executives of the warring factions. Eventually, the computer companies won the day, and a single format, now called DVD, was agreed upon. Thanks.
