I came across this site while looking for consignment shops for my kids clothes. There is no selling, and no buying.

"GET STARTED!

Step 1. Sign up! (psst ... it's free.)

Step 2. Fill out your profile, upload a photo and create your own custom page. This is how swapmates will get to know you, what items you have to swap, and what items you're looking for.

Step 3. Join a local group – this is especially great for larger items and avoiding shipping costs.

Step 4. Join any and all groups that interest you, read the group rules and start DISCUSSIONS about the items you have to swap and/or the items you’re looking for. This is KEY. If someone's interested, they will leave a comment on your post. (Don't worry -- you will automatically receive an email notification when someone leaves a comment on one of your posts.)

Step 5. Browse the PHOTOS link under the COMMUNITY tab at the top of the page. After you join groups, this is another way to find items you're looking for. If you see an item you like, leave a comment that says you’re interested, and ask the owner to take a look at your page to see if you have something they might like to swap for. They'll then, either leave a comment on the photo or your page. (Either way, you'll be notified.)

Once two swappers connect, it's up to them to work out swap details."


I love this idea! Not only am I getting rid of stuff that I don't need or want, but I am getting the things that I need and want in return.

SWAP MAMAS - Smarter, greener & kicking the economy to the curb (http://www.swapmamas.com/)

Its really a cool website such an amazing idea. I am really impressed i join it I want to swap my all old furniture.... Its really helpful Now i am managing an account there.
Thanks for the helpful resource.

I love it! I posted pics and within minutes I had people interested in items. That is way better than I ever did on eBay or craigslist. I'm glad that others found it useful as well. :)

cool idea! One area hadn't been started from where i am from so i added it:)

We've finally lived life full circle and now we're back to the barter system. =D

Sounds great, but none are local to me. I Free-cycle on Yahoo groups, you should check it out!

What a cool site. I am going to sign up on this.

This is a really great idea. I am going to have to try it out.

Thanks for the information. I like the step by step instructions on how to do it. I will take a look.

many thanks for the information

really interesting. Was it only for that week or is it still on for this week and for March as well?


Thanks in advance!

You can arrange swaps and post items on the site at any time, year round. You can join local groups and network with moms in your area and maybe set up a local swap. It is a great way to meet other moms, make some great friends, and swap your old stuff for something new. The hardest part for me was getting everything photographed (still working on that). I have made some great swaps, and received some really nice stuff in return. It is addictive so beware :D

Thanks for sharing swap mamas with us! :)

Thanks for the tip. I will definitely check this out. My hubby has been on me to declutter a few rooms. Hmmmm, swapping would mean I would be getting new clutter though. Will have to think of a good explanation ;).

You are welcome! I am glad everyone likes the site. I know I was so excited when I found it and I spent days taking pictures of my stuff.
