We got an email from one Mark Hexamer recently, who, after some kind words about our magazine, mentioned he founded a company called Swaptree.com. He says:
“You simply list the items you have and the items you want, and Swaptree’s trade algorithms, instantly finds the members who want what you have and have what you want. So on Swaptree one copy of Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows, can be traded to another member, and another, and another, saving trees and pollution in the process. After all do we really need 40 million copies of Harry Potter on the planet? Shouldn’t say 5 million be enough? Lets recycle all the paper AND all the books.”
A vivid example. If Swaptree works, you can stash that economic stimulus check under your mattress and just trade for new movies and books. After poking around the site for a while, we’re sold. Has anyone reading used Swaptree?

A member of my book club introduced me to this site a few weeks ago. Not only have i used it get all my books for free, but i have also used it to recycle some video games and dvds the kids had lost interest in, for ones they now want.
SIMPLE AND GREAT.
Wow! Is Swaptree cool or what? Again, when I see something like that, I KNOW that the future of this planet and, for my daughters too, WILL BE a brighter one than the past few years. Super!
Bravo encore pour nous montrer ce site.
