You offer your stuff that you do not need anymore and send it to members of Switchplanet. This earns you Switchbucs which can be used to order the stuff that you are interested in from other members. The only expense that you have is the shipping costs to ship the stuff to the member who request it.

it is a great idea for reduce the pollution for the earth,
but why not we don’t sell the unused goods at ebay?

Interesting idea. I’m just not sure how well it’ll work. I like trading among people I know, seems I don’t get shafted nearly as much this way…lol

why do i keep hearing the word scam!

o, pallab, why would it be illegal?

I believe the shipping cost is not cheap too.
The idea is kind of “new”. We’re giving something out but we’re the one who pay the fee too.

I read about this service in many blogs, But this shipping would be useful within a country only. Shipping costs to other countries like US are really high and it would be higher than the cost of the CD sometimes.

I like to trade old stuff but I don’t have to much time to send that stuff. Is a good idea but I guess SwitchPlanet is for people who have some free time.

I used this and I must say I like it. I trade so far 3 things.

So I guess the company gets their profit from ads? I think the environmentally conscious people will want to use this site. I prefer to have my belongings new.

yeah, now i can handle my old cds.
Ronald
June 26, 2007 at 2:02 pm
That’s a good idea, and i think that’s NOT scam facility..
may you must read full review by John. It’s free… you just pay a shipping cost…when the item arrive in your area/home. i agree with Grace, the company get profit from the ads. Anyway, that services just for USA/Canada?
Shashank
June 26, 2007 at 2:57 pm
only for USA and Canada…:(
why would sending members pay when they are already giving their old things for free….
Nirmal
June 26, 2007 at 6:01 pm
Only for US and Canada?
Wallace
June 26, 2007 at 7:38 pm
if they only accept usa and canada,
so they might change their logo indeed!
CristianR

congrats to the one who had it

Nice review - indeed, this is a nice service.
Grace
June 27, 2007 at 6:45 am
Maybe they are in beta or early stages?
Alex Panait
June 27, 2007 at 9:26 am
I didn’t noticed that is only for USA and Canada, Wallace is right: they should change their logo.
Shashank
June 27, 2007 at 5:21 pm
maybe they are plannning to release their service for other countries too …in future..

This sounds very much like what http://www.paperbackswap.com does but with more than just books.
MoneyNing

Could anyone tell me why I don’t just use ebay?
Nirmal
June 28, 2007 at 12:03 pm

You are right. If its there only for US and Canada, they should change the logo and even the name.

Nice idea. Does it work for Sweden?
Shashank
June 29, 2007 at 8:27 am
Ebay would also be great for this ..good point
Nirmal
June 29, 2007 at 2:30 pm
Yes, eBay is also a good option for this. I have done some selling and buying through eBay. Its the best for online purchases.

John,
Seems like you are busy with some work, not seeing any new posts?
Grace
July 4, 2007 at 4:37 am
Exactly what I was going to comment about! What’s happening?

CristianR

Sounds like a great concept…I just don’t see what the other person gets out of it..just my old stuff ?
Grace

Well, if he IS partying, he sure isn’t telling us.
Shashank
July 5, 2007 at 10:07 am
or he might be finalizing his another project …which no one knows about
Larry
July 5, 2007 at 1:40 pm
They should change the name into SwitchUSA.com
Are you really working on some new project?
Let us know

John is probably out partying while we help his blog grow by visiting
SP_Chris
July 6, 2007 at 7:56 am
John…thanks for the great review!
Looks like there is a lot of interest in us expanding to other countries and that is the plan…just need to figure out how to make it happen.
Translating the site is one of the biggest things to get done and setting up the support system so I can receive support tickets in lets say French but I get it in English…then when I reply the French user gets my reply in French.
I really want to get everything working near perfectly here in the US then I will start to tackle the challenge of going global.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Ronald
July 6, 2007 at 10:15 am
Oh, where is John? still didn’t update yet..

July 7, 2007 at 8:55 am
Recently John didn’t update his blog frequently. Must be very busy.
MoneyNing
July 7, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Yeah not updating will eventually mean the site traffic will die down. Good luck to him.
Ronald
July 8, 2007 at 12:56 am
Yeah Nirmal - may John is very busy right now… and currently working other project :).

I agree with MoneyNing. eBay is the very good. But we really have to appreciate Switch Planet for introducing such a new concept.

Why wouldn’t you just put your stuff on ebay and get real bucks, then use those dollars to buy the things you want?

It is very complicated to register an account at eBay as well as we must pay with a cost of quite a bit of

They’re definitely smart marketers, playing up the “save the planet” angle is sure to gain them a following these days. Going “green” is the thing to do these days it seems…
Blogging Experiment
July 9, 2007 at 11:09 pm
Oh, also, not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but you might want to change the title to read “Trade Your Old Stuff” rather than “Trade You Old Stuff”.

John when you get back, can you change the title of this post to “trade youR old stuff” rather than “trade you old stuff”? I’m not sure why it bothers me but it does.

Give away your old stuff for FREE and PAY for shipping too? Is it just me or is this a really bad idea? And even if you earn those points, you get to order just old stuff discarded by others right?

I don’t get what happens with the points. I trade stuff and pay for shipping, and I get points to trade with someone else? I don’t get it…
