Swap the games you have finished for the ones you have not.
A finished game is a done thing. Somebody near you has finished the one you have been meaning to start, and is looking at yours the same way — which is a straight swap waiting to happen.
Swapping a game once you have finished it
Name the platform and the edition. A game across two consoles is two listings to the person searching, and a standard copy and a special edition are two different things to somebody who cares which one arrives.
Say what is in the case. Disc or cartridge, manual, insert, any code and whether it has been used: that is the whole question a player has before they commit, and answering it up front is what makes a swap quick.
Several games together make a strong listing when they share a console or a genre. One handover, one conversation, and somebody picking up a console they have just bought gets a library in an afternoon.
Photograph the case front and the disc or cartridge itself. Give the platform, the edition and the state of the case. Then say what you would like next, whether that is one specific title or simply a genre you are in the mood for.
The questions people ask first.
List what you have played through and say what you want to play next. We put the two of you together when the wants match in both directions, and you arrange the handover between you.
A bundle that shares a console or a genre is one of the easiest listings to match, because it answers a whole want in a single swap rather than a title at a time.
Say exactly that. Most players care about whether it runs, and being straightforward about the case is what stops a good swap turning into a surprise on arrival.
Nothing here has a price.
Barterama is a barter marketplace: a swap site where value is shown as a band rather than a figure, and where no money changes hands at any point. Every item sits in one of twelve bands that we work out — you never set your own, and neither does the person you are swapping with. If we are not confident, the band gets wider rather than more precise.
Where two sides do not quite balance, a small extra item closes the gap. Cash never does, and there is no balance or credit on this site to close it with.
