A new Toronto start up titled SwapSity allows residents to barter their possessions or skills with other members online. Featured on
BlogTO the Toronto-based company was founded by local Marta Nowinska and currently has over 2,500 active members in the GTA.
"SwapSity somewhat awkwardly bills itself as "the premier consumer
bartering community for Canadians that helps keep it local while taking
it easy on both wallets and the planet."
"Once you've registered for a free account on the site, you can start
posting the items and skills you can offer to other members. The site
offers suggestions on what you can swap -- from items (clothes,
electronics, rental properties) to skills (scrapbooking, computer
support, piano lessons); to time (dog walking, administrative help).
After posting what you have on offer, you can start building your
wish-list -- the items and services you'd like in return. The site then
matches users, who can either meet in person or ship items to each
other."
