Swap shop
There are big advantages to bartering. It’s fun, as anyone raised on Swap shop will attest. It clears your shelves, as your rubbish becomes somebody else’s treasure. It’s also a green way to reuse products… we throw away an awful lot of stuff that’s still perfectly serviceable. And it costs nothing - you don’t need to put in hours of work to earn stuff (and pay tax in the process). You simply trade what you already have.
Check out swapz, the UK’s largest and best established swap site. Crucially with these sites you need critical mass - lots of people swapping in other words, as that way you’re more likely to find the stuff you want. Swapz has everything from Beanie Babies to laptop computers.
