Here's a great barter community that I came across while surfing the web: www.kizoodle.com. Do you have a lot of kid's clothing, toys, or miscellanous items that are no longer useful to you? Trade them for something that you need! This website allows people to post items that they have to offer and allow members to exchange items based on a point value system - no money is ever involved! Membership is totally free. You get 5 points for signing up and 2 more for inputting a referral code. Mine is: 1NQ4PS. Many items are offerred for minimal points and your points tally up quickly when you find out that you actually have a lot of stuff that someone else might find useful. There's also parent forums, groups and blogs that are fun and informative to visit. It's very family centric, that why I like it so much! Enjoy!
