SwapTreasures is proud to present a new “Alert” tool for members. It is a tool to allow members specify items that they are looking for in terms of keyword(s). Members can specify as many keywords they are looking for in an item and SwapTreasures will do the hard work. When SwapTreasures encounter an item that has been added/updated and matches the keyword(s), the member will be notified about that item.
With this feature, this avoids in members having to manually search the site on a regular basis. In addition, the members will be automatically notified via email when their match is met.
Just another way to make life easier for our members… come join us @ SwapTreasures.
Bartering is a transaction between multiple parties. It does not require any medium of exchange, in which goods and services are switched for other goods and/or services. Services can be exchanged for goods and vice versa. Bartering can be implemented in environment where a monetary system is not required.
What are the Benefits?
Swapping is a bartering system in which participants in online communities trade items of comparable value on a trust basis. This type of bartering system is a good way to find and obtain items that interest you. Your unwanted item could be valuable to someone else so swapping is suitable for a win-win situation for both parties.

Where to Swap Online?

Be sure to avoid sites that require you to pay anything for listing your goods and services. There are plenty of bartering sites that will allow you to barter things without paying a fee.

Ever wonder what you are going to do with all that old stuff in the attic or basement? Many would simply say to dump it out and make room for that new high-def television that you bought from Best Buy. Others would yell out “Ebay it”. Of course, the reality is that the old stuff stays with you because of the hassle of auctioning them off.
We all know at least one person who collects just about everything and stores it anywhere in the house that can fit. Fortunately, there’s a way in getting rid of that stuff and get something in return. Swapping is a new alternative to buying and selling. In addition, swapping helps the environment by avoiding the additional pileups in the landfills. Instead, the stuff gets reused over and over.
Benefits of swapping for most people include the following: fun, being part of a group, support, friendship, and knowledge. Swapping does not have to include just items. It can also include your services and skills. Why not swap your skill for something you always wanted. Your time and knowledge is worth something and that can be traded for something.
There are many ways in getting rid of your unwanted stuff - donating to charitable organizations, participating in swap events or meets, selling items at a stoop sale, calling a local exchange market, or looking up Thrift stores in your Yellow book.
Keep in mind that there is always someone out there who can use or want your item. Keep the environment clean, save money, and start swapping.
A barter site can help people swap unwanted things. In addition, members can add stuff they are looking for, sell unwanted items, and share ideas among the swapping community.
