Hi everyone. I’ve been using Swaptree for the last several months and am pleased with it. After moving to Seattle, which has a very active craigslist, my ideas on item value and sharing.

In Seattle we were able to completely furnish our apartment for free off of craigslist. We’re talking couches, TV, everything.

Most books and movies on Amazon soon become worth only one penny, with a tiny piece of profit scraped off the shipping.

American’s have so much stuff now that many have paid for an extra storage space to cram all of our excess into.

I have been searching the ether for something that will allow communities (location, or friend and family based) to inventory their possessions and make them available to the world and/or to members of their community.

I envision a community supported warehouse that can store the excess of consumerism and getting the items back into the flow. Locals may come in and deposit or withdraw. To everyone else, the inventory is offered up for swapping as swaptree is already doing.

American’s are overflowing with stuff and we need a solution. We also must learn to share in order to move on to our next stage of development. I think Swaptree is positioned to become the method to restructure the madness.

Thanks,

MrAdventure
