Recently I got an e-mail from a friend of mine that said, “I thought you might like this”.  Typically I don’t pay attention to these e-mails, but something made me go look.  What did I find?  Paradise. (Well, not really).  But what I found was really cool.

Swaptree.com is a web-site that allows members to post items they have (books, movies, Cd’s and video games) in their member profile.  Then they get to go through and pick items they want.  When there is a match, swaptree lets you know.  You can then initiate a trade with someone.  If you both decide to trade, you get to mail your item and they mail their item and all you are paying for is shipping and handling!  Whoo Hoo!!!  It’s better then the library!!!  Users then rate each other (much like e-bay and amazon) and that’s how you build trust that you will send the item you promised.  It is so cool.

I’m addicted now.  It’s a great way to be green, save money, and get rid of items that you don’t want anymore. Go check it out!  Now, if only they would work on bundleing items…
