Naming is hard Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hey, this is a cool site, you trade in your Movies, CDs or Games in for Points, then you use those points to buy other Movies, CD, or Games =P.$1 for shiping.http://www.barterbee.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Looked interesting ... It's not entirely clear how it works though. They make it sound like anything's a buck, but it looks like everythings a buck, PLUS points that you have to earn by selling YOUR stuff. Or not? I dunno. They need a much better explanation of how things work (the oversimplified 1-2-3-4-step graphic just doesn't cut it). One thing stood out: There's exactly ONE of everything listed "available." Does that mean individual traders have one copy available? (Which would make sense.) Or that there are NO duplicates of anything? (Hard to believe.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 another catch 22 on there. The seller sets the number of points they want for what they are selling. so it really isn't $1.here is the breakdown as I see it.$1=1point, Average Item on site=15 points15 points = $15upon signing up you get 5 points to get a free cd, dvd, or game. Average item for sale = 15 points, there for you still have to buy 10 points at a dollar a point.is it just me or does that seem like a scam??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) Here's a website Ive used a couple times. Like with Ebay though, you have to be carefull and look over the feedback so you don't get burned.Trade Games NowYou trade games, movies, and software with other people directly. No points, or money involved. No money goes towards the website. You make the deals with the other users privately. Edited May 1, 2006 by Bubba Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDoors Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 It clearly states shipping is free, so that dollar is just the profit for the website (near as I can tell). But ... if you have to sell YOUR stuff to earn points, don't YOU have to ship it somewhere at your expense? Like I said, I wish the instructions were more clear.

Naming is hard Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Since you people dont seem to have a brain,watch this doesn't get any easier XD,its the simplest site in the world, my grandma uses it, but you guys are having problems, classic.You dont "Buy" points, thats retarded and would be completly POINTLESS, you CAN buy points if your like 1 or 2points behind something you really want, but thats it, anyways watch the video, and if its still confusing you then, maybe you should just stay away from the net all together.

Bubba Bob Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) Calm down Ryan, and wipe the spit of your monitor I can definitely see how this site could come in handy and save some money. Besides, if you like the site, that's all that matters. Edited June 10, 2006 by Bubba Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
