<a href="http://swappingtons.com/">Swappingtons!</a> Howdy fair sailor, "Swappingtons is a great way to get rid of any books, CDs or DVDs that you don't want anymore, and get other items in return for them. The great part too is, once you're done with the items you get, you can just turn around and list them again so someone else will take them and you can get something else." <a href="http://andrew.diaryland.com/">Andrew</a> (of <a href="http://diaryland.com/">DiaryLand</a>, <a href="http://pitas.com/">Pitas</a> and <a href="http://benicetobears.com/eggpost/">various</a> <a href="http://benicetobears.com/music/">other</a> <a href="http://notifylist.com/">web</a> <a href="http://signmyguestbook.com/">enterprises</a>) has set up a barter club for your mutual benefit!

Cool. I've got all sorts of junk to swap.
But... um. How do you get your <i>first</i> points? Other than referring others, that is. I feel like I'm stuck in a chicken-and-egg loop already.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.22893-418065Fri, 17 Jan 2003 20:20:33 -0800pzarquonBy: beefula

You get them from people who already have points (there are a bunch, mostly from referring people) getting stuff from you. It's not as catch-22 as it looks, there are lots of trades going on.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.22893-418067Fri, 17 Jan 2003 20:22:30 -0800beefulaBy: 111

Everything Andrew does is golden. Mostly because he has a bazillion webgroupies that will use any service he creates. He's a great guy though. I've had a couple interesting conversations with him via AIM.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.22893-418086Fri, 17 Jan 2003 22:00:23 -0800katieinshoesBy: mirla

I may be a big dumbhead and have missed that this is possible, but it'd be swell to be able to limit geography (and thus postage, since you're pretty much preselected to be a cheap and/or poor bastard if you're using the site anyway) for those of us outside of North America.
I'm in Korea, and if I could filter folks with items to swap to just, say, Korea (to pick a madcap example), that'd be good. Japan too, maybe, but customs might become an issue then, maybe.
Not that there'd be anyone on the filtered list yet, but it'd feel nice just to be able to do it, you know?comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.22893-419567Mon, 20 Jan 2003 23:58:33 -0800stavrosthewonderchickenBy: stavrosthewonderchicken

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
