"Why buy new, when you can swap what you've already got?".
My name is Tracy, and I am a Mum of two pre-school girls.
I came up with the concept of swapping kids gear, when I looked at the pile of clothes that my daughters had outgrown very quickly! Rather than throw it out or give it away, it occured to me that there must be other Mums' in the same situation; and why not swap with them?
I figured the internet would be the obvious choice to reach as many parents as possible, and so in August 2008 Trade Kids' Gear was born. Trade Kids'Gear is a website that allows NZ parents to swap kids clothes, toys and accessories online. It works on a points system, a great alternative to replace & recycle your kid's gear as they grow.
When a member registers with Trade Kids' Gear, they automatically receive a$2.00 credit (enough for 5 standard listings) so they can try our website for free. When they place their first listing, they will receive 15 freeTrade Points so they can start trading straight away. When the initial$2.00 credit has been used, members can top up their account via PayPal or internet banking transfer. Listing fees will automatically be deductedfrom their account balance. A standard listing is 40c for up to 10 days, with the option of up to 3 free automatic relists.
We now have 381 parents' from all over NZ who have joined our website toswap online.
