Rapleaf integrated with SwapThing. It’s official. All systems go.
We have alot of partners (and we don’t mind getting polygamous), but this one is extra special. Founded by Jessica Hardwick, the inspiration for the company came after Jessica traded computer consultation to a veterinarian in return for much needed surgery for her cat. See this is where great ideas come from.
Essentially, you can swap a used bicycle for a Lakers Championship t-shirt. An XBox for a PSP. Anything whatsoever. And you get to display your Rapleaf badge. Sweet!
You can also join a consistent group of swappers, or a SwapCircle, to trade like items. For instance, I joined the SiliconValleyEntrepreneurs to trade entrepreneurship related books, etc. I told my parents to join the BollywoodEntertainment SwapCircle since they watch way too many Indian films.
Overall a great company. Much kudos to Jessica and her team and we look forward to this ongoing partnership.

And we’re just easier to use
