Free things with a bit of patience :)

I've been doing this for a year and ended up with loads of DVDs, PS2 games, and other things you'd expect children to flog away without a second thought.

Sign up for an account there. Then sign up for an account at http://swapitshoplounge.co.uk so you can access the codes, hunts, quizzes, comps area of the forums. Weekly the forums will be updated with codes that can be put into SwapitShop and let them accumulate as you enter new codes. If you see a 'swap' (rather like an auction) bid on it with the points and if you win, it will be sent to you.

Bear in mind that the item goes to SwapitShop HQ first who then forwards it to you so your address remains anonymous to others. Also, as they are children/immature people on SwapitShop sometimes they won't send in their items but your points will be reimbursed by the Swapit team. Usually the stuff on auction there are things like Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Pokemon cards, little bits of tit-tat that children think are valuable, but lurk a bit more and you'll find some stuff you really want for free.

It is, but it requires patience. Still, a freebie's a freebie!

haha like taking candy (or toys) from babies!

HAHA, epic quote regaridng taking candies from babies. I give them swapit points for their unwanted items. It's their choice to put up their stuff for auction anyway

I am within that age range so technically, I'm not breaking any rules here. I've heard of older people joining but it's all for good fun and recycling unwated possessions.

so how do you get swapit points

1) Not the free way - put stuff on auction and when they sell for the highest bid, you post the item to SwapitShop HQ in London (details on the site) and when they receive it you will be credited your swapit points.

2) Free way - Register at the site http://swapitshoplounge.co.uk to gaina ccess to the Codes section of the forum where people regularly update any codes that are released in children's magazines/e-mail newsletters. Copy and paste the codes into the codes area of SwapitShop and voila, your swapits will be credited to your account. Do this and save up the swapits until you have enough to bid on what you want

I don't understand what the need for this thread is, there is already a thread for Swapits explaining what it is and listing all the current free codes, the OP should have taken the time to check before posting.
