I have no affiliation with them other than using them for a few years now. I love getting rid of my old CDs and Books to get a stack of new books and DVDs! What's cool about these sites rather than SwapTree (which looks great as well but I haven't used yet) is that you don't trade with people directly. Instead you pay to ship your item to a person and in exchange you get a credit to "buy" any item you want at any time. I have cleared out my bookshelf and CD rack now and have a ton of credits waiting for my next "shopping" spree.

I'd like to share something with you too. My youngest (now 5) has been saving the tabs off the coke cans for a very long time now (about a year or so) as well as the cans themselves. What she does it she'll pull the tabs off, put them in a recycled water gallon and crush every single soda my husband demolishes...and while she does it she reminds herself that she's helping "save the earth"... Gotta love the little ones, they're so fun!!!! I think that is so-o cool!!! I’d like to share something with you too.
