Ebay for kids

Advantages: not real money, for people of all ages
Disadvantages: double postage,

The swop it shop is an auction website desgined for kids, in my opinion it is almost like an ebay for kids. Basically what you do is sell is put an item up for sale on the site and like ebay you can choose to put it up for auction or put it on buy it now. However, unlike ebay it doesn't cost you anything to put items up for sale on the site. And once you have sold it you earn swapits which is currency which you can only use on this paticular site. ...
...earned to purchase things from the site. Also if you don't fancy selling something on the site you can buy swapits using cash, however you can't convert your swapits back to cash. There are a couple of downsites to the site though you have to pay double postage as you post the product to the company who own swapitshop and they post it to the person who bought the product off you. Also it is quite unlikely that you will find the exact product that ...

Review of www.swapz.co.uk

Advantages: Quick, Easy & Free to use.
Disadvantages: Some people can over value their items.

This website came recommended to view by a colleague of my partner, so far it has been nothing but excellent. For those of you who are not aware of what this website is all about, here's a brief idea. Buyers and Sellers of unwanted goods can registar for free and list any item, you can swap for anything, and i mean anything - from CD's to Houses (yes someone actually listed their house to swap!!!) Similar to eBay in that you can search for what ...
...i would say that the people found on here are more trustworthy than those of eBay, mainly because they also have something to sell. We recently swapped a 2.5 Litre Nissan Skyline for a 2 Litre Toyota Celica - the owner of the Celica travelled to us in Portsmouth from Kent, looked at our car, took it for a test drive and left with the car. Easy!!! Unlike eBay you are also not charged to list your items. It's definately worth a look if you've got ...

The Swaps Shut at Swap Hut

Advantages: Sell those unwanted items cluttering up the attic
Disadvantages: Not too many transactions at present

I joined the swaphut a few months ago after following a link from another site, with the hope of selling some unwanted goods that I've been meaning to gather together for a carbooty since about 1973!* For of course this is what swaphut is all about. You add some unwanted items, possibly place a couple of wanted items and then let the punters punt, sorry that was my opinion on the oxford canal, I meant to say then let the puntering, erm, haggling ...
...Easy instructions and some rather sleek, but non-the-less informative toolbars, with every function needed. You've got your information about the site in the "about us" area, you're frequently asked questions in the FAQ area, the registration details in the register area - blahdy blah, ad nausiem. There's also a couple of current offers floating across the page and some information about recently completed swaps, e.g. Tom just swapped his collection ...

Review of swaphut.com

Something for nothing - or almost

Advantages: Free to list, easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...again. Finally I came up swapshop.co.uk which I find very easy and have had quite a few successful swaps through them. Firstly you have to join up which requires the usual setting up of password and name, address etc. this is pretty straightforward and follows usual internet site procedures. The site is very simply set up with no gimmicks or jumping graphics blues colours for the writing and links - quite subdued and subtle. The home page explains ...
...3 bullet points. 1.No fees 2.Easy to list 3.Point system means no waiting for matching swap You can then click to register or click to find out more. Once you join up you can start swapping straight away. About 3 weeks after joining I got a welcome pack with about 3 swapshop envelopes, a drink mat and a welcome letter which was rather a nice touch I thought. The items that you can swap are books, CDs, DVDs and games and they have recently added ...
