Use Sites for Swapping Stuff or Bartering?

Then let me interrupt our back-to-school blog postings to put out this request.

I need to interview real-life women (sorry, guys, but it’s a magazine for us gals) who use online sites to swap stuff–for themselves, for their kids, for back-to-school shopping, whatever–or who use online sites to barter for goods and services. This is for a Good Housekeeping story that’s due this week.

Does this sound like you? Do you or someone you know use any of these sites?

• Switchplanet.com
• PriorAttire.com
• SwapBabyGoods.com
• SwapStyle.com
• TimeBanks.org
• Neighborrow.com

I need to do phone interviews by Wednesday–yes, this Wednesday, August 5, 2009. These are the only sites I’ve been approved to cover and/or which I have not found anyone to interview about yet.

You have my permission to repost this anywhere, re-tweet it, whatever. Ask people to email me: leah dot ingram at comcast dot net.

Thanks so much.
