Before the trip, you need to agree on a list of things with the coordinator by phone: + 7-926-276-69-91.Sites where you can place ads for the sale of things that are no longer needed, but still useful, are very popular. Advertisements say that by placing ads on such sites, you benefit from a financial point of view and make a profit from the things that have already served you. But is it true that other people are eager to pay money for your old things? The question is controversial! Perhaps if it is, for example, a refrigerator, and it was found purposefully, the deal will take place. But there are doubts about the fate of smaller and useful, but pretty things. Most likely, their age will end in the trash.
In Finland, an Internet business idea for an effective site for the exchange of things and goods was implemented. If people do not want to pay money for other people's old things, this does not mean that they have no desire to take possession of this thing. Just thinking logically, a person decides - why am I going to spend money on "old stuff", I'd rather add and buy a new one, "right from under the machine." But it is a completely different matter when a desired thing can be exchanged for one that is already unnecessary, but necessary for another. In this case, everyone wins - no one spends money, and everyone gets what they want. Actually, on this simple and ingenious principle, a new site for the exchange of things was founded under the name Netcycler (in translation - "virtual circulation").
On currently exchange site operates in three countries, because Since its launch in Finland, it has gained unprecedented popularity, and other Europeans have expressed a desire to have a similar service at home. Thus, the site is available in three European countries- Finland (in the .fi domain zone), Germany (.de) and Great Britain (.co.uk).
Netcycler is an Internet service with which you can exchange your belongings for others you like. All this is free, fun, environmentally friendly and economical - says the Netcycler team.
“If we talk about ecology, then our Internet project is directly related to the problem of pollution of the planet with human waste,” says Per Andler ( P? R Andler), one of the company's employees. - If people exchange old things, it means that they do not buy new ones and do not throw out the old ones. When millions do it, the effect is quite obvious. What we are proud of ”.
Navigating through exchange site Netcycler is not complicated and accessible to everyone. So, under the product you like, click on the I wan this button (I want it) and offer your product in exchange. The person whose product you liked receives a notification at email and makes a decision. Several people can participate in this cycle at once, which is another of the advantages of this site, which establishes such a kind of barter relationship.

Thrift shops have returned to the market. This is an inexpensive and simple business - what an entrepreneur needs without experience and capital. In this article, we will tell you how to make money on commission trading in children's goods.
Commission trading is experiencing a new wave of popularity. This idea can become profitable precisely in times of crisis, when the cost of any mistake in choosing a business direction increases many times over.
It's time to clean up your wardrobes and dressers. In Europe, people easily donate not only old and unnecessary things, but also know how to get huge benefits from this. Several times a year they organize fairs where they donate what is no longer useful and necessary for them.
You don't have to be an individual entrepreneur or buy a special permit to take a seat at this fair. As a rule, ordinary married couples participate there, who donate unnecessary things that have accumulated in the house. Home-made pavilions exhibit interior items, books, clothing, music records - everything that anyone would definitely want to accept as a gift. Eventually, the event turns into a general holiday. But if the exchange of things for the whole day did not take place, then they are again taken home or sent to a landfill.
In fact, barter is very good way accept as a gift something that can no longer be bought in a regular store or in the market, and in return give something of your own. The main thing is that this "something" has at least some kind of presentation that will attract its new owner. As a result of such transactions, people remain happy and satisfied that they were able to accept the right thing as a gift without spending their own money.
Science does not stand still. Today, in order to feel all the benefits and benefits of the exchange of things, a person does not need to go out. The transaction is easily and simply done via the Internet. The virtual market is usually specially created sites, where the exchange of things takes place. Users register on them and get acquainted with the rules of the exchange.

Among the huge variety of applications submitted for the exchange there are ads about children's things, clothes and shoes, cosmetics, as well as much more. It is very easy and convenient to exchange things on the site. It is high time to be convinced of this. For example, in an apartment there are several unnecessary books on the shelves that may still be useful to someone. Some of them just give them away, while others can offer a profitable exchange of things. People do not always agree to give back an item of equal value, but no one forbids asking for a can of coffee or a couple of delicious chocolate bars for the items on display.

Hello everyone!
I want to start right away with a clarification. Each of us has a different attitude to used things. If this is unacceptable for you, if you prefer to buy exclusively new things in the store, then please treat with respect to those who treat this normally. Situations in life are different.
I am not in poverty, but with our prices in stores and the quality of these things .... In general, I am calm about used, in the store they try on things)) Okay, I will not breed a philosophical conversation here. I'd better tell you about the site and the application.
I have a lot of things at home that I don't wear, but it's a pity to throw it away, and no one buys on Avito. Then I came across the SwopShop website.
The idea of the site is original and very convenient. In order to take a thing, you need to give something.
Everything is described on the site, but I will tell you again in my own words.
There is a virtual currency - swap. You expose your lot (item) and estimate its value in swaps. The better the item, the more "expensive" you exhibit it. Another person who wants to pick up your item must have swaps (for items given away) in their account. When an exchange occurs, the person gives you special code... You enter it into the application when you close a trade and receive swaps on your account.
What are the advantages?
- You don't waste money
- You are making an equal exchange. In exchange for your expensive and unnecessary things, you can take the same expensive and necessary, well, or a lot of cheap and necessary ones)
- In VKontakte groups, for the thing you like, you have to give something in return to this particular person. It often happens that you really need his thing, but you have nothing to offer in return. Here you give to one, and take from another.
- General meetings. It is not necessary to go to the other end of the city. There are general meetings every Wednesday and Sunday where you can give away all your lots and collect from others.
- There is a website and an application for a smartphone.
This is what the application looks like.
I have already told the whole point, and now let's see clearly how it works.
My profile.
Your photo, name, your rating and your balance are displayed here.
Lots.
Things give different. From trash to cool and new. Clothes, shoes, toys, interiors, dishes, for the home, plants and much more.
Current deals.
The app displays the lots that you will pick up. Those. those lots that you have selected in the application, they are automatically booked for you and no one else sees them. Private messages are opened with this person.
And the lots that are taken from you.
This is what I will pick up at the next general meeting and what I will give away.
On the sites "Avito", "From hand to hand" and other well-known sites, you can post advertisements for the sale of unnecessary things. If you don't need payment, take a look at "Give away for free" or "Daru Dar". Children's things are usually distributed on the services Deti.Mail.ru, Baby.ru and other sites. The price is small everywhere, and this is ideal when you need to empty the shelves. Of the minuses, it can take quite a long time until a real buyer is found.
On free markets, all buyers are real and are ready to exchange the dress you do not need for boots or a handbag. The main thing is to be able to agree. It is most convenient to follow such events in a group. "Freemarkets of Moscow"... In some second-hand shops, exchange is also practiced. You bring your old things, and in return choose something from the available assortment. But there may be certain restrictions concerning, for example, the proportionality of things. It is better to find out the features of the exchange in advance. By the way, some semblance of such swaps can be found in social networks... For example, the community alkoshmot unites those who want to exchange things without additional payments. The main idea here is conscious consumption. The group works for two cities at once - Moscow and St. Petersburg, and updates appear several times a day.
This is a great chance to get rid of unnecessary things and do a good deed. Thrift stores, for example, the "Shop of Joy" or "Charity Shop" work in a similar way: they accept things in good condition, and then sell them at low prices to those who really need them. The money raised usually goes to charity as well.
Perhaps the most convenient way to transfer things to those in need is to leave them in special boxes that can be found in different parts of the city. So, on this moment in Moscow there are 8 collection points of the Kind Box project, a number of collection points and containers of the Kind Things project. Not only clothes and shoes are accepted, but also stationery, educational materials, books, games and gifts for children in orphanages.
You've probably noticed special boxes installed near the checkouts in H&M departments. They accept unnecessary things and give a voucher for each package of textiles to receive a discount on any purchase at H&M. Next, your belongings will be sent to the German city of Wolfen for a sorting yard and for processing. This is how the store demonstrates its social responsibility. You can use a coupon for only one item on the check, which is sold at full price.
Such well-known organizations as the Red Cross and The Salvation Army regularly organize the reception of things, which are then given to the homeless, low-income and large people. By the way, not only things are accepted. On official websites or in groups in social networks, information regularly appears about what kind of help is most needed now.
Temples and churches are the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to getting rid of old things. Indeed, in many churches there are organized places for receiving clothes and food, which are then distributed to those in need. But clothes are not accepted everywhere. If you decide to take something to the nearest temple, it is better to find out in advance all necessary information... It may be that things will need to be sorted beforehand, not to mention that they will need to be washed and tidied up.
Foundations accept clothes, shoes, bed linen, dishes and other things. You can contact the Charity Foundation, Russian Birch, Volunteers to Help Orphans, Civic Assistance, the Perspective Center, the Sozidanie Foundation, and the Friends in the Street movement. Things for the elderly will be welcome at the Sofia Foundation. Medicines, hygiene products, clothing and food can also be brought to the Fair Help Fund for Dr. Lisa. Also, any clothes in a suitable condition are accepted by the "The Heart Is" project. He helps large families, foster families, single-parent families and low-income families. You can transfer something that has already served you, but may be useful to others, through volunteers or bring it to the fund yourself.
If you want to get rid of unnecessary things, but do not want to waste time sorting and transporting them to collection points, you can order the removal of things directly from your apartment or garage. There are special projects in Moscow, for example, "Svalka", which independently and free of charge will take away clothes, toys, old household appliances, furniture. You can leave a request for the removal of things directly on the website. Another project, "Young Timurovtsy", gives away part of the collected things for sale (so it turns out to recoup transportation costs), and distributes the rest between the poor, orphanages and baby homes. And in the project "Give things for free" there is even an evening pick-up - cars are ready to come for your clothes before midnight. Then things will go to families in need.
Some groups of the population need regular help and support. These are homeless, low-income families, old people, disabled people and just people who find themselves in a difficult life situation. All kinds of social assistance organizations provide them with targeted assistance. They, in turn, are always ready to accept help from caring people. We need not only money, but also medicines, clothing, food and just the participation of volunteers.
Do not forget about the existence of commission stores if you want to get rid of things that have become unnecessary and get some benefit from it. Do you think that your clothes can still serve someone, and will generally look good on the counter? In a commission shop, for a small fee, they will accept for sale everything that the former owner does not need. For example, the "Pioneer" store will display your things not only on its windows, but also on trading platforms in the Internet. The Mamantin store specializes in used children's things. Toys, shoes, strollers, clothes and more will come in handy here. They are ready to give the money right away, and if you are not satisfied with the proposed ransom amount, you can give the goods on a commission.
