I don't know if you're anything like me, but I do not enjoy shopping. Just thinking about going to the mall at Christmas time makes me break out in hives! I know, I know, it's not even summer yet, and I'm talking about Christmas. But hold on, there's a method to my madness. I love old television shows and reading, so on a tip from a friend I went onto Swap.com and took a look around. In case you've never heard of this site, it matches people who want things with people who have things. There are hundreds of movies, books, music and games circulating onboard that you can trade with other people to get something you want.
Say you have the Star Trek Fan Collective Box Set, and maybe you're also a Columbo fan (like me): put Columbo on your want list and the Star Trek Box set on your have list, and Swap.com does the rest. If there's a swap opportunity, you get a link letting you know a trade is available; all you have to do is pay for the cost of shipping, which is about $3.18. Sounds simple, right? It is. All it takes is eight seconds to set up your account and you can start swapping and shopping right away.
So if you want to get a jump on your Christmas shopping, or get a complete season of Columbo TV shows, or if you've got some items that you don't know what to do with, trying swapping. It's the new shopping.
Happy Swapping
