online clothing & accessories exchange

Options
This is a new free-to-join website (launched in January) - the details of which I found in our local (free) newspaper:

"CovertCandy could revolutionize the way you get hold of your clothes. For free!"

It's actually a credit-based trading platform for second hand and vintage clothes.

Members upload photos/details of clothing & accessories that they no longer want. Other members request them - earning their original owner virtual 'credits' based on the value of the items. These credits can then be exchanged for other garments etc.

There's a couple of inherent 'negatives' from my own point of view: i) the cost of posting one's unwanted garments to their new owner; and ii) the fact that all the clothes currently listed are for very skinny-sized people!
