Default Would you visit a website that helps to exchange and giveaway stuff at no costs?

Just had this idea, but not sure if it will work. Any ideas and suggestions welcome! Thanks.

I already do. It's called freecycle. They don't exchange, though.

Not really. I prefer blogs with good stuff to read. It's healthy for my brain.

Between craigslist and freecycle and eBay as well-established competitors, a barter/exchange site will be very tough to get going. Fortunately or unfortunately, that's the kind of service which favors one or two dominant players, not many, because it's so dependent on a high volume of users to be useful.

I also like paperbackswap.com : lets you swap books, audiobooks, textbooks, etc at no charge. I've gotten some GREAT books from there!

This is not a new idea.
But then how many ideas are really new???

The real thing is action and execution.

I find it a very workable idea. In fact, I would be one of those to use this service.

So, Best of Luck.

It might not work if your competition is eBay and craigslist, but if there was a niche you could target this to, maybe.
