Doodad Swap... A Creative Way to Get Things Without Spending Money.

With an ever increasing pressure to squeeze as much from each dime possible, there are still ways to get new things, gifts, gadgets, etc... all without spending that ever so treasured dime. Doodad Swap is a new site that allows just this. You can upload a picture and description of anything laying around the house collecting dust and someone out there would love to have it. What if they don't have anything you want? Glad you asked, the answer is - it doesn't matter! Here's how it works:
If someone wants your item, they request it and if you're okay with it, you just flat send it to them. "What!? I just freely gave someone my stuff?" Well not exactly. When you uploaded your item, you set a value. On Doodad Swap the "currency" is called Doodles. A Doodle is roughly equal to $1 US. So if your item was worth $5, you received 5 Doodles when you accepted the request for your item. You can then use those 5 Doodles to get whatever you want. Still confused? Check out the Walk-through on Doodad Swap.
Who sets the value of your item? YOU do. "But what keeps someone from putting a crazy price on an item?" Nothing. You could offer a paper clip for 1000 Doodles if you like but no one will ever buy it so you're wasting your time. It's truly a little economy... supply and demand are in total effect.
Doodad Swap is an easy place to save money and still get things for yourself and others.
Here are the 11 main categories of items:
