Swaptree is a new and innovative way for people to easily trade the books, CDs, DVDs and video games they are finished with, for the ones they want, all for free. With SwapTree, your collections stop gathering dust and can be used to acquire other items you want. By offering to trade a single item, you can choose from thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, and video games that you can receive in exchange. Best part: everything is free, you only pay shipping.
In addition to maintaining a list of items that a user wants to trade, SwapTree builds a long list of items the users want to own as well. This list can be created by clicking on items on the SwapTree site, or even easier ways like importing your Amazon wish list or using a plugin to click on items on Amazon directly and have them included on your SwapTree “wish list”. If there is a match, any match at all between an item that you have and an item that you want, SwapTree suggests that a trade occur to both parties. If both accept, the trade is confirmed.
There are a number of really nice touches as well. SwapTree will analyze “have” and “want” lists, and try to organize trades among as many as four users, so the possible number of trades increases exponentially. SwapTree also allows you to print out an address form and postage directly from your printer. SwapTree has envelopes available and will send you new ones automatically as you use up the old ones. The list continues – basically SwapTree has done a very good job of thinking through the details and making swaps occur as easily as possible.
