Is Bartering Books, Movies, Music, and Games Practical?

[sunever07]

I like the idea these days there are a lot of bartering websites,my favorites: Swaptree, Bookin, BarterQuest, and i like Barter4green as well.

I like this concept; unfortunately EA's DRM will prevent bartering from taking place. They have restrictions on the amount of time a game can be installed as well as tying it to hardware. Thus their permission would be required.

SWAPTREE is awesome! it's like ebay for people who don't like crazy bidding wars.

downside to all this is that you pretty much need to have a credit card to pay for the label (you get 1 FREE, label for referring one person, and that person has to complete a trade too), lame! and i had my hopes up. Correct me if im wrong b/ i really hope i am

isn't that illegal?

That's pretty cool. Thanks for the info. Which of course also means thanks to Mr. Joe what's his name. Was it Joe or something else with a J? I feel like an idiot so I'm gonna stop here. And to answer your question, it's half-empty because it started out as full when you started to drink it. If it had been empty and you filled it up with water then it would be half full.

Thanks Chris this website is awesome.

I have been bartering things for over 26 years. I have bartered cars for computers, computers for cars, tools for computers etc. Im currently offering to trade a $6500.00 car for a high end computer.

cool- but isnt this illegal. Apparently if you sell or lend anytyhing such as a book or movie or whatever you dont have the rights to do so- as silly as that sounds.

...anyways cool vid and interesting 'sounds' :P

[KabutoHunter]

I'm too much of a collector to swap stuff. I always feel regret later on when I don't have the game/movie/book. Especially the games. I quit selling/trading them about 5 years ago.

!!I'M CRAZY!!
