Bartering online with Giventake

Bartering online with Giventake
Do you have something kicking around you don't want but which somebody could still get some use out of? Why not barter?

Goods and services have been exchanged for other goods and services since the stone ages. It's a simple way to trade items between parties without cash. Giventake takes the process online. The website lets people trade items for something they have a use for. Users start off by registering and searching out what they are looking for. When the goods have been found, connect with the owner, work out an exchange and make a deal.

The site has items listed from antiques, books, collectibles, computer equipment, games and jewelry in 26 different categories, largely focused in India. There are no fees involved with using the Giventake service.
