A Fun Way To Save Money

November 10, 2006 by Susan

Here’s a great site to check out… It’s called Title Trader and it allows users to trade books, cds, and dvds with one another through a point system.

The owner of the site emailed me today to let us know about it. Here is his explanation of how Title Trader operates:

“The site works by users posting what they have to offer, when someone requests one of their items they send it out. In doing so they receive points that can be spent on anything else on the site. The sender pays the shipping, but the favor is returned when they request something. The site is free, with a few added features for a minimal fee.

To give you a little more information about the site, it was opened in September of 2004. A couple months earlier my sister came to me with the idea for a new website. She had a lot of books and a small house and thought it would be a good idea to help get rid of some of them. I put it together in a few weeks and have been working on it since. We have over 180,000 items listed, with almost 8000 users, and 90,000 items have been traded. We’re the largest such site that has not only books, but CDs, DVDs, VHS, video games, and magazines. It provides a nice flexibility being able to trade a CD for a DVD for example. The site also supports international trading, users can select which countries they are willing to ship to.”

I have to admit I’m not generally a very frugal person but I know I should try harder to save money, so I liked the idea behind Title Trader.

What about you? Do you have any hints about ways you like to save money?

    “What about you? Do you have any hints about ways you like to save money?”

    I just started a frugal living blog titled “Work Around Your Wallet” which is a phrase I came up with to describe our goal to live within our means. I’m sharing ways I’ve found to save money and stretch a dollar. Hope you all will stop by. :o)

    Thanks for this — I’ll have to check it out. I donate some things like this to family members or our school library, but not everything. I take some stuff to the Salvation Army, but I am always afraid of it languishing there going to waste — I’d much rather send it to someone who wants it.

    I am one who is more in need of tips to save money rather than having any myself to offer. 🙂
