Shilo on soap
About a year ago, the startup SwapTree was actively discussed in the news, but then subsided. His idea was to offer users an exchange of things.
Yesterday it was announced the start of closed beta testing and the timing of the public launch - July 4th. For those who do not want to wait, you can now try , thanks to Michael Arrington with TechCrunch .
Quite an interesting service. And very nicely made. At the moment there is an opportunity to make the exchange of books, audio discs, DVDs and video games. Item IDs are codes on Amazon and ISBN for books.

You make two lists - what you have and what you want. It is understood that you are ready to change one position from the first list to any position from the second. After that, the service notifies you when a suitable option appears. You can agree to a deal within 48 hours. After the parties have decided to conclude a transaction, each party must send the package with the thing to the other party within the next working day.
The service is focused only on residents of the United States, which allows them to print printed postage stickers - their cost will be deducted from your plastic card.
After the end of the transaction, that is, the receipt of items, users evaluate each other. This rating is publicly available, so all delayed shipments or your other shortcomings will be known.
As for the implementation itself, I have only positive emotions. Description of any thing is available when you hover over it, you can immediately evaluate the thing, or add to any of its two lists. It is also possible to import wishlist from Amazon, which is also quite convenient.
True, only for Americans. Russian Post is busy with rebranding, points of collective access to the Internet and similar not-so-specialized matters. How long to wait for a normal mail service is not yet known.
