By Leslie Ball


At times, we hoard things in our garages or stores that we no longer need; not knowing what to do with them. Selling them is often the first idea we come up with but on selling the items we may end up losing value. So, the best alternative is bartering; exchanging good for other goods of the same value and quality. Although bartering was used in the olden days, it has resurfaced in the present times due to its efficiency. The internet helps in faster bartering since it reaches out to a wider geographical area. Below are of some the barter sites available for exchanging goods from the convenience of your home or by mail.

Zwaggle is a barter site that was put together for parents to obtain kid's stuff easily. In the website, you can swap baby beddings, toys and even beddings with other parents who need your stuff. Signing up is free of charge, and you earn points for each item you swap. The points are helpful in obtaining other items.

BabysitterExchange just like the name of the website sounds involves swapping neighborhood-level activities such as pet-sitting, babysitting and tutoring. Assemble a group of families whom you trust and know very well then sign up together for the site. From there, you can easily schedule how you will swap ordinary tasks like babysitting free of charge.

SwapStyle is an excellent exchange site for individuals who want to keep with latest fashion trends.

From the swap, you will be able to choose from a variety of items like books, CDs, movies and other things. The site service is free, but you will meet the cost of shipping the items you trade.

GoSwap is a website where permanently swap houses. Signing up for the site is free but listing your home costs between 9 and 270 dollars. All you need to do is list the house you want to swap, and then search for a house you want then swap.

In conclusion, there are certain things you ought to note before embarking on bartering online. Get to know how bartering works, its advantages and disadvantages and any tax prerequisites.
