Swapping DVDs Online Free Tips
One of the pitfalls to swapping dvds online for free is that it can be addictive. Once you learn that you can get DVDs that you would otherwise be unable to afford and it's so easy it becomes a habit. You may want more DVDs then you have to trade. Here are tips to maximize your swapping experience and get the items you are looking for.
Just because something is free doesn't mean that you really want it. You can save a lot of credits just by going through your wish or want list and deleting items that are no longer important to you. Your kids or husband may have asked for a new release and then forgotten that they ever wanted it when it became available months or even years when it finally is your turn.
Find cheap DVDs. You might come across a whole box of DVDs at garage sales or flea markets for just a few dollars. Even if these items aren't exactly what you want as long as they have the original cases and are in good condition you can swap them. You'll want to watch out for discs that aren't worth the full credit price such as the thin releases at the dollar store.
Find something else to trade. At many trading sites you can transfer your credits to the owner's dvd and cd counterparts. At swaptree you can even trade all three mediums plus video games on the same site. You might want DVDs but you have lots of books you can send out.
No one has to know that you regift or reswap. You may be disappointed on Christmas morning when you get two sets of the same dvds or you receive an item that someone really bought because they wanted to watch it. The solution to this is to swap it for something just for you. Whoever you send it to will appreciate the fact that it's still in the wrapping. If you peruse the forums you'll find that never been watched DVDs are in demand because other people may be trying to save money on gifts as well. (Read the TOS carefully to see if this is allowed. Many swapping sites frown upon people who are trying to cut in line both on the sending and receiving sides.) It can be your little secret just as long as the giver doesn't ever ask to borrow the DVDs they gave you.
Swapping DVDs is an economical way to get new DVDs and get rid of older items. You can maximize these tips to make the most of your trading sites.
