Swapster.com is looking to change the way people use physical media like CDs, DVDs, video games and books by combining media trading with the social technology of sites like Facebook. Swapster is a digital media bartering system that lets users trade their music, movies, video games, and books with others through an easy-to-use points system. This unique bartering schema breathes new life into an otherwise under utilized media collection.
Members list their pre-owned CDs, DVDs, video games and books on the site for free and set their price in Swapster points. The items are added to public lists and become immediately searchable by visitors and members alike. We put a lot of effort into creating a compelling, easy-to-use website. After a simple sign-up, users are ready to list, browse, and swap their media.
Swapster's goal is to make music, movie, game, and book trading as easy as possible while connecting member networks to the process. Facebook applications and other social interaction tools promote items being sold and generate swapping points for the member. Bringing friends, family, and other connections to the site helps users tap into their personal network and reach groups of people with shared interests.
With simple and fun interactivity at the heart of the site, Swapster is positioned to help its members realize how much their existing media collection is worth. Even casual members will quickly realize how much money they can save on Swapster.
Swapster is in beta and completely free.
