Cool site: I”ve been tinkering with a site called Swappington’s that works kind of like eBay, but no money is exchanges. Everything is based on barter. You put items on there, decide how many “points” you want for the item and wait for someone to make an offer. If you accept they offer, they transfer their points to you and you ship the item. YOu can them buy items.
The only glitch seems to be getting started. You can’t buy anything until you’ve traded anything into the system. I’ve had a few items on there for a couple weeks with no takers, and I’m wondering if other people are having the same problem. I’m going to try adding a few new items this week to see if I can get some points. It’s really a pretty cool idea for folks who prefer to trade stuff instead of getting money for it …
Some of the swappers are pretty damn funny.
