Peerflix: DVD Tradin' for the masses

If you're anything like me (congrats), you have built up a nice little dvd collection over the years. College and life thereafter made it necessary. You have probably purchased and been given as gifts some dvd's that, how shall i put it, are awful and you would never watch. What do to? Simple: trade 'em for something better with Peerflix.


Peerflix runs on a simple concept: people have dvd's that other people want. You quickly sign up (100% free), add all the dvd's you want to get rid of to your "I Have" list (took me about 5 minutes to add 60 dvd's), and then add dvd's to your "I Want" list. Peerflix then matches people who "Want" with people who "Have." When people request one of the dvd's you "Have" then you print a pre-filled out mailer from Peerflix, drop in your unwanted dvd, and slip it to your mailman. That's it. Pretty slick.

When people "buy" your dvd's you build up "trade cash." This trade cash is then automatically used to buy the dvd's on your "I Want" list. So far, i have sold about 10 of my dvd's for $94. Not bad for movies that i never take out of their casing. Especially since i now have some movies that i would actually watch coming my way.

Peerflix
Pros: best way to upgrade your dvd collection
Cons: people might not want all of your dvd's and you may want dvd's that no one else has (or wants to sell)

Bottom Line: Check out Peerflix. Definitely CoolSlice recommended.
