Hello, hunting! People have been exchanging stuff through all their history, nowadays using groups, chats, classifieds or local swaps. Some do it to save money: freshening up the wardrobe is better when there’s no extra spending. Others see a way of giving their stuff a second life instead of throwing it away. Some people just join the community and have fun. We made an exchange platform for all these people. It’s called Swop.it. It can be hard to find people interested in others’ stuff. That’s why we help to make deals happen with technology. An algorithm matches goods based on geolocation and interests, helping the user see what he can get in return for his stuff immediately after the listing. Impossible things happen too: Swop.it can create a chain of exchanges, so the user gets what he wants even if their goods are not of the same value or matching interests. The initiator doesn’t even have to negotiate with everyone in the chain. All it takes is to give the goods to the next person in the group and get what they want afterwards. 🤝List your goods and make a deal in a few clicks, wasting less time on meetings in person. 🚛Own delivery service and an option to exchange securely through a deposit system. Exchanges run smoothly and safely. 🎦Built-in video calls. It saves time: you can examine the goods without leaving the app, so no extra meetings and commuting. Moreover, it keeps users' data private: no need to disclose personal details like phone numbers. 👁100% made for private deals. The service is designed for individuals, not professional resellers. We are happy to tell the whole store for the first time here to the community of Product Hunt, and we can’t wait to learn what you think of it. So, welcome aboard!

Hello, I believe it's a great project. It always feels like a pain to get rid of old stuff, because selling things takes plenty of time and and is difficult, and throwing things away looks stupid. Built-in delivery and calls are a separate kind of enjoyment, thank you for treating your product and users with love.

@panphilov thanks for your support! We're glad to give more people a way to look at using their belongings different, now that there is a technological alternative to throwing them away or just bying new ones.

Reminds me of the Red Paper Clip story. In a good way.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

@serge_schukin It certainly was one of the many inspirations for the team :-)

@serge_schukin сan't lie — this amazing story is overwhelmingly popular, so it does pop up almost every time when we talk about group exchanges 🙂 Its morale is the exact reason why we engineered our product in a way where not only one person can get something valuable from the deal and enjoy it, but many.
