  • Hi,

    I'm sure the parents out there all agree that kids are expensive! I love a bargain as much as any other, and when my son came home one day telling me about a great kids auction website I was hooked!

    It's called Swapitshop (https://www.swapitshop.com), and the best way to describe it is Ebay for Kids, but without money and all private. It's great for parents in more ways than one. My son's personal details are never shown to any other member (all packages go to a central office to be forwarded onto winners), there is no registration cost, and the only money involved is postage (which my son can even afford with his pocket money!).

    What he is able to do is sell unwanted items on the site, gain points from this called swapits, then buy other toys, dvds, games or music he likes with these new gained swapits.

    It keeps him entertained for hours! It saves me from buying him toys all the time too.

    I really do recommend parents introduce their kids to the site as its a great, safe, money-free, exciting site for them.

    Cheers,

    Hannah

    I don't think we're allowed to promote swap systems on these forums.

    Swapits have 2 threads on the vouchers board, which is the correct place for them.

    There is one purely for codes, and one for discussion
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    Hannah has been VERY busy plugging this site on loads of forums recently!!

    And why has this post not been pulled when a post I made on a similar topic a few weeks ago was flamed and pulled within minutes??!!
    <--- Nothing to see here - move along --->
  • Hannahs thread was useful! Any parent has the right to know about what there kids at up to online! Swapitshop is a site that is safe and benificial for their kids to use! I have a young sibling who uses swapits regulary , at first i was a bit weary as to where he was getting all this free stuff from & as to why he was cleaning out his room looking for stuff to trade, to find out that it was online made me curious so checked it out and yeah it is like a kiddy ebay, it is completely safe and the kids dont need any money at all! All they have to do is buy their stamps ( a bit of housework will fix that cost )!
    So i guess our parents are saving money, Im not getting my cds & dvds borrowed so much as he is winning his own on the sight! Also he is learning a few financial skills having to manage his swapits account!
    The stuff ive seen him win is incredible, he too spend hours swapping & trading online, a number one fan i think!
    Excelent site, excelent cause it safe & excelent because you get a lot out of it! Free stuff, whats to complain about?

    BG Note. I'm closing this thread pending moderator review as the other threads running have already been closed.

    However there is a working ' Swapit codes and Hunts only - NO CHAT' thead on the vouchers board for anyone who has a relevant post.

    Thank you
