If you’re like most people who use the library, you’re looking for a way to get a book, movie, music, or video game for free or on the cheap. (I know that I am.) The next thing closest to free is trading online, and SwapTree will help you out. You list the items you have and don’t want any more along with items you do want and then get started trading. If you want to know the more specific details of how it works, you can read more Frequently Asked Questions here.

I’ve been using SwapTree for several months now (mainly to trade books), and it is a great, inexpensive way to get rid things you don’t want or need any more and replace them with something you do want. The only cost involved is mailing off the items you’re trading—which is generally only about two bucks!

Take a look at SwapTree and let us know what you think.
