Barter Websites

December 13, 2004 6:07 AM

Suggestions for swapping-goods web site? I've done the eBay thing, but looking for swapping goods for goods.

I have a notebook computer, and I am trying to change it to a different platform than what I have. Anywhere where I can post such a thing on the web, specialized sites?

The only site I know right now is Swappingtons.com but that seems to be more for personal media. There's also a site that's mentioned in the new Readymade magazine about a site where people are trading everything from furniture to plant to books, but the magazine's website doesn't seem to have the content available. If it's not posted by the time I get home tonight I'll dig it up for you.

Craigslist.org has a barter section, and is available in many cities. You never know who else wants to make a platform switch, only in the other direction...
