Here’s a list of places where you can list what you have and what you’re looking for in order to barter with someone:
- Barter Bee - Specializes in movies, music, and games
- Swap Thing – Your thing for my thing
- Craigslist - Pick a location, then go to barter under the for sale section
- Trade a Favor – Trade anything with anyone and everyone
- Joe Barter – Networking made easy
- Paperback Swap – Any book, not just paperbacks
- PeerFlix – Movies and more
- Swap a CD – Just CD’s
- Swap a DVD – Just DVD’s
- Barter Bucks – Barter anything
- Know Your Trade – The home exchange directory
Remember, using these websites can take a little longer to get what you want than simply going out and buying it. But if you think of it as a game, kind of like a treasure hunt, just the process of tracking down and acquiring what you want can be fun, even before you’ve gotten the thing you want.
