I had a great experience picking up some items from a lady who lived in my neck of the woods. She contacted us and wanted to donate some items - well I went to pick them up, and holy moly! She gave us a truck load! I mean we're talking about some great stuff - like an Eddie Bauer stroller, a Jeep Umbrella stroller, a bouncer, high chair, and you name it! One of the great things was that all of these big ticket items are for one, impossible or simply not cost effective to swap online, and are also really tough to find in thrift stores or consignment stores. The gal who donated expressed her frustration on how thrift stores would not take these items because they held the weight of a child, so she was ready to take them to the dump! So that's another thing that is so awesome about our swaps. We keep these great gently used items OUT OF THE DUMP and put them to better use. Not only that, but you can take the time to look over these items before you take them, and if you find anything wrong with them - then there is no haggling someone for a refund or store credit or what not. We really need to get a peace. love. swap in every city of the US. My experience confirmed this once again! So if you or someone you know wants to start one - shoot us an email.
One more thing... I have been taking photos of my kids wearing swap items because I will be making a new video with peace.love.swap kiddos wearing or playing with their new toys and gear - so send me some photos if you would like them included in the next video - plsrocklin@gmail.com.
Happy swapping!
