It’s a barterer’s paradise, and it’s officially here!
As if the age-old adage “one person’s ‘junk’ is another person’s treasure” wasn’t enough, current environmental concerns require that we all show greater awareness about how we consume and then ‘un-consume’, or discard of our possessions. A great way to demonstrate personal responsibility is to reduce, reuse and recycle. That’s where SwapSity comes in.
It may be as easy as snapping your fingers, but it’s not magic. With SwapSity, you can easily convert your unused possessions into things you really want, while satisfying your eco-conscious and budget-savvy desires.
The Canadian online consumer bartering site allows you to use your assets as ‘money’ or collateral to swap for items you really need or want but perhaps have been holding out on in hopes of finding a bargain. The bartering community allows those adopting a ‘greener’ lifestyle to be able to freely negotiate the value of items and skills and facilitates fair exchanges.
What’s the best thing about SwapSity? It’s hard to extol just one virtue of this online bartering haven, but one bonus is that swapping is free of charge, so you can trade as many times as you like. As well, SwapSity uses a unique matching tool that makes it easy to find local swappers in your area.
The site comes complete with swap success stories and tales of the more interesting or unique deals. From cottage getaway swaps to exchanging home renos for cars, there’s no limit on what can be traded.
Founded by Marta Nowinska, the bartering site focuses on a user-friendly experience and includes video listings, wish lists with email alerts, and proximity tools to make swapping easy and enjoyable. Users can even join swap group communities to trade between certain common-interest individuals or groups.
Maybe you’re searching for a deal on a particular item. Or maybe you’ve decided it’s time for spring cleaning and will be clearing out things you no longer use. Why not give SwapSity a try? You never know what treasures you’ll find, for a great price. And in the process, you’ll tread a bit lighter on the planet.
