I’m one of the co-founders of Zwaggle. First thanks to Amy for sharing Zwaggle with Unclutterer. The more parents that know about Zwaggle the better. We believe Zwaggle is a valuable resource for parents with distinct advantages over Freecycle, Craigslist and Ebay. To Katie’s concern, there are in fact several ways for a first time parent to earn points without having any items to share, including joining which earns you 50 points (about one or two items worth usually) and referring friends which earns you 15 points every time they join. So you can see how quickly you can earn points and start preparing for your first child all without spending any money. In addition, we will be adding a feature soon that will make it even easier for first time parents to get more points. Also, Zwaggle is for parents with kids of all ages, so once you’re done with the stroller you can get a wagon and then a bike or a video games system and on and on. And then when you’re done, you can satisfy the kid in you with some new movies or electronics, or better yet donate your points to a charity and receive a tax deduction.

That kind of system is great for stuff you always need, but it just doesn't make sense with kid stuff. When you are looking to get kid stuff you don't have anything to give away to get point, and once your kids are grown up and you're ready to give away your stuff your points don't do you any good. But I'm just bitter because I'm a first time parent and this site is totally useless to me because I don't have anything to give away to get points. :) There is one great huge problem with this site: you have to give in order to get.

It's addicting and very helpful in uncluttering my living space. Lately I’ve been selling loads of my used stuff on eBay. It’s addicting and very helpful in uncluttering my living space.
