The Bite You can trade trash for treasure through an online swap site, if you know where to look. Here's the scoop. The Benefits Getting stuff you want. Get DVDs, furniture, concert tix, anything - no new purchase necessary. Clearer closets. Get rid of anything you don't need...well, almost anything: no listing your spare kidneys or step-kids.

Personally Speaking While traveling abroad, Heather leaves her books in airports, trains and (surprise, surprise) bars for other English-speaking travelers to pick up. It works great except when locals chase her down to give them back. Wanna Try? BookCrossing - leave used books in designated public places for other email-alerted bookworms to pick up. Freecycle - join a local group of swappers online. LendList - a share site where you compile a list of things you have to loan out, then send the list around to your friends.
