Trading is a great way to get rid of your older versions of videeo games or get those cd's out of your closet (they're on your ipod anyways), books, amd dvd's you have watched a million times!!
Swap.com is the place for you! www.swap.com
The swap market is huge and this company based out of Boston, MA has captured this market almost 3 years ago! I am a founding member, joined within their 1st year (they actually gave me a badge with George Washington on it), get it...lol
It's a very fun, fair and reputable site. They also have a swap guarantee, see below. You can't go wrong , my friends!

You can also refer friends to get a free mailing label!
Here's what swap.com says:
Swapping is the purest form of commerce. I give you something and, in
exchange, you give me something of equal value. It has been around for
eons and continues to thrive. Swapping is also meant to be free.Swap.com wants to be there to help make swapping easier and more fun. Our marketplace is vibrant and we continue to see it grow. As a result, the only costs associated with Swap.com are shipping costs to get your item to your swap partner. There are no other charges.
We do require that every member have a valid form of payment on file to comply with our SafeSwap guarantee. This ensures that all members are treated equally and send the items they agreed to send.
What's up with the shipping costs?
You are responsible for shipping your item to your swap partner once a trade is completed. Swap.com offers a very easy to use, convenient shipping label that you can print from the comfort of your own home. This label includes the sender and recipient addresses, as well as the postage, already printed for you. We also offer built-in tracking and delivery confirmation to help make sure your package arrives safe and sound.You are still welcome to buy your postage at your local post office if you prefer. We're happy to share. However, we strongly encourage you to buy delivery confirmation from the USPS. This will help protect you from members claiming they never received your item, this is called our SafeSwap Guarantee. You'll also find that the prices are the same (see chart below).
| Item | Swap.com Shipping | USPS Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Postage | $2.41** (1lb. media mail) | $2.41** (1lb. media mail) |
| Delivery Confirmation | $0.80* | $0.80 |
| Shipping Cost Total | $3.18 | $3.18 |
There is a "Haves" List (for items you want to trade), and a "Want" List for the items you would like to get. You can mix and match the items for trade, Swap will email you to let you know. At that point, you go in to see whats available and then decide if you want the trade or not.
Tips:
Just describe your items correctly and clearly state any defects. It is kinda like ebay where you leave feedback for items you have bought and sold...No money is exchanged though. They did start charging a fee to use the site, but you can print labels right from their site to make the shipping more efficient and convenient.
