    5 Stars SwapitShop - An eBay World For Kids 20/11/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large range of items available to buy, free to swap your items, easy to use.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Have to pay double postage, there can sometimes be scams about so be careful.

    SwapitShop - "Things You Want For Things You Don't". www.swapitshop.com I've been a member of this website for almost two years now. Basically SwapitShop is a website aimed at 18's and under where you can sell items you don't want in exchange for points called Swapits. With these points, you can then bid on things you DO want that other swappers are offering! Each item up for 'sale' has a auction style bidding feature very much like eBay, and some items also have a 'win now' button where you can win the item straight away for a set amount of Swapits. Unlike eBay however, it's free to list your ... more

    4 Stars Swapitshop.com Vs. Swaphut.com 24/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of chances to swap. Can take advantage of swapit system

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can you trust an anonymous person, and their stuff.

    Swapitshop Vs. Swaphut - A definitive guide. So, I think I would be right in saying that these two sites are pretty much the main sites where you can swap things. But which is best? Firstly, here’s the deal with swapitshop.co.uk, and those of you who want to know more about Swaphut can go to my Swaphut opinion. On Swapitshop the system is slightly different to just a straight swap as with Swaphut. It works more along the line of an online auction where you put your item up to stay for a week, but instead of working with money you get points called ‘swapits’ which you can ... more

    3 Stars Swapitshop - IMPORTANT NOTICE 09/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages get rid of old stuff, easy to use site, the middleman

    Disadvantages Disadvantages young children, reliability - is now closed

    Please read bottom of opinion for update... I have been using Swapitshop for a while now, have experienced both sides of the site, so here is my story... Firstly, you must register. You log-in with your email address and a password, but your bids are shown by a nickname. Good, do not want people having my email address, although it is on Ciao…different. Two minutes later you must start thinking about what you can do. Well, not a lot really. If you start looking for things, you will find that you cannot have much! So, what you must firstly do is look through your CD rack, bookshelf, toy ... more

    5 Stars Swapitshop 27/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Get products you want for things you no longer want, no money/bank details involved

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none!

    Swapitshop is a great website for kids and teenagers, which allows you to bid on products using a virtual currency called Swapits. ****How do I gain Swapits?**** You first set up an account and recieve a small number of swapits. You use the add a swap button and put anything they don't want onto the websites, by adding it to the relevant product category, and choosing the type of product that it is. You are able to set a minimum starting price, and a close now price(which ends the auction straight away) The product gets added after a few minutes. ****What are Swapits Worth?***** Swapits do not ... more

    5 Stars Hopit to swapit! 28/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great for kids - safe auction site

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not enough members in my opinon

    Did you hear about the American guy who started a journey into the world of swapping? He started with a paper clip and now has a house! Well this review is not about him but about a UK website swapitshop.com. As the website title says 'swap it'. Swap what? You may ask. Well on this child friendly website: swapitshop.com you can list items in any of the following categories: Books Cards Collectables Ga dgets Games Movies Music S port Stationary Style Toys Vouchers Un derneath the categories there is a section titled 'FRENZIES'. These are from what I can gather a list of items you can bid on ... more

    4 Stars Out with the old... 03/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Get stuff you want for the stuff you dont

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some people dont send to you (but you dont lose out)

    Do you remember Noel Edmonds multi-coloured swap shop from the 80's? Well Swapitshop are quite similar to that classic show but with a few small changes. Firstly you will need to register here (free) www.swapitshop.com Then after you have filled out all the details (make sure to put your genuine address as this is where your swaps will be sent to) you can then start to add your swaps to the site, this is extremely easy to do as everything is catergorised so for example if you no longer want an old Kylie CD you would select the music section, then select CD's then type the name of the product ... more

    5 Stars A great, easy to use service for all ages 03/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great service, better than selling your items.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some people dont end up sending their items to you. So to avoid dissapointing people, always send your items ASAP!

    UPDATED - See bottom of page.... Got games and cds that you used to love but are now bored of? Been given christmas/birthday presents by relatives that you know you'll never use? Have you got something that you have bought that you never use, but others might like? Then Swapitshop is the place to be! Swapitshop is a free service that anyone can use (if you are under 13, you need parental permission before registering). This is how it works: The currency of swapitshop are swappits. You get 10 swappits when you register. To earn swappits, you have to post your own items on the site, which people ... more

    4 Stars No worry for money transfer 19/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No money transfer needed

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Range of items to bid is limited

    This site is a fairly different one to the other on-line auction sites as accumulatable points called swapits are introduced. Still similar with other auction sites where you can place an item and set a minimum and maximum value (max value can only be min value's 15 times), describe the item briefly, then put it on auction for 7 days. The only thing is that you use swapits rather than money so that there is no worry for the money transfering business! You have an account which starts with 10 swapits when you register and as people bid for your item and you send it off swapits are put into your ... more

    2 Stars Fundamentally Flawed 23/03/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Ability to swap unwanted stuff.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Where do I start?

    We’ve seen the adverts about Swapitshop on TV, read the Ciao opinions and remembered the days of multi-coloured Swapshop with Noel Edmonds and the rather annoying Keith Chegwin, so we thought we would give it a go seeing as we had loads of doubles of beanie babies to get rid of. To the younger reader, Swapshop used to be the SMTV programme of it’s day way back in the late 1970s and early 80s except it wasn’t as funny! On arrival it looks pretty impressive with loads of blue ellipses dotted all over a white screen. The idea of Swapitshop is trade or swap unwanted items (toys ... more

    4 Stars Things You want, For things you don't 24/02/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Swap stuff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no one send stuff in

    Swapitshop was one of the greatest web-sites I had ever had the privalidge to of been a member of. You could get what your heart desired on swapitshop.co.uk. That was in the summer before the great swapping site was taken off-line due to bankrupcy. Now it is filled with swappers who don't send items in and children who don't know what they are doing. For those of you who have never heard of swapitshop or how it works, heres the deal: You buy things on swapitshop with swapits. To get swapits you have to have swapped something and sent it in to Swapitshop. There are nine different areas on the ... more
