For centuries folks have exchanged services and goods for services and goods rather than use money to buy them. This is historically called the barter system. In the modern world this practice is referred to as swapping or trading. There are many reasons people trade stuff with other people. There are a number of internet sites designed expressly for this purpose.

Additionally, many of the internet sites are devoted to trading particular items. Using these sites will help folks find the things they want for the items they can trade. Instead of using your cash to buy things you want or need you can barter for them. People simply swap items they have for ones that have a value that is similar.

Before internet it was not easy to find the things you wanted to swap for, nor was it easy to find others who wanted to trade. Usually folks just carted their stuff from swap meet to swap meet. While the system works, It does not for all situations. Unfortunately, you can often spend your time searching the meets but come up empty.

There are a number of web sites that will swap just about anything. While they can be fun to look around you may not find what you are looking for. Visiting a site that lists a specific item is often your best bet. For example, if you have a love for books swapping online through a site devoted to paperback books is easy and convenient. A secondhand book store will give you credit for your books that can be used to reduce the cost of your purchase.

If you have gently used baby clothing there are sites designed to exchange for items you need. There are also sites that offer neighborhood babysitter, pet sitting, and car pooling exchanges. These sites are known as sharing cooperatives. Because they are specific to your neighborhood the families usually know each other or are acquainted with those who are interested in sharing.

There are also a number of sites dedicated to video game and accessories trading. This type of site makes it easy for people to list their gaming items so others can browse. Anyone can brows trough the libraries in search of games and accessories and set up a trade. The folks trading are responsible to ship their items to each other.

Some trading sites points are given to value the games. When someone finds an item they want they can request it if they have enough points. The person who listed the item ships it and gets a credit of the points. The person who receives the credits can use them to request items they want. This system works very well but is not as fun as the other sites.

Rather than taking all your stuff to different swap meets you might want to give internet trading a try. If you have several items that are in a specific category, such as books or video games, check out those sites dedicated to trading those items. Although the sites that take everything are entertaining to visit, they do not always have what you want.
