 We all have those DVD’s that we thought were a good idea when we put them on our birthday or Christmas lists. Or maybe we just made the mistake of impulse buying a movie that, after watching once, just wasn’t what we thought it was. Months and years later when we go through the DVD cabinet we’re faced with a choice: sell it at a garage sale or online, donate it or some people just throw them out! Here’s another choice when you come to that fork in the road…SwitchPlanet.com!
Sign up for a free SwitchPlanet account and list your DVD library and which ones you’re willing to switch with others. They have a virtual currency called Switchbucs. This makes it possible for you to trade your own title with any other members of the service without having to make sure that the same person has a title you want in return. You can list how many Switchbucs you want to “sell” it for. Keep in mind that for each item you list it will list how much that item retails for new on Amazon.com. This keeps people from going crazy with the pricing which keeps everyone honest. If someone wants one of your items, they’ll contact you through SwitchPlanet and you mail it out (you pay the shipping). Then when they receive it, the Switchbucs will be credited to you. And don’t worry about items getting lost in the mail, the Switch guarantee protects both shippers and receivers so the transaction is virtually risk free.
The beauty of using this service is that it doesn’t have to cost you any more than the shipping that you pay when you trade your title with someone else. Once you trade your first title and earn switchbucs, you then have what you need to “purchase” a title you want from another member. Since that member pays for the shipping to you, it all evens out in the end. In other words, you can trade your media for the cost of shipping - nothing more! Of course, you can purchase additional switchbucs if you’d rather but there are no other fees associated with maintaining your account.
When you join, don’t hesitate to go through and start making your own wish list so you can trade your earned switchbucs with the newest item that tickles your fancy these days! SwitchPlanet.com not only does DVD’s but CD’s, video games and books as well. So go through your stuff and head on over to SwitchPlanet.com today!

I have a lot of DVD’s that I no longer watch. I was going to sell them at a garage sale but then I would only get a few dollars for them. I’m definitely going to check this place out!
