Private TradeHuts - swap with people you know

What is a Private TradeHut?

TradeHut has been created to allow every TradeHutter to swap Games and DVDs. However, within TradeHut you can also create your own Private TradeHuts. A Private TradeHut is simply a community of TradeHutters that all know each other. You could create a Private TradeHut at work, at school, with other parents at football training, with friends and family .... the possibilities are endless.

When you are in a Private TradeHut:

  • Every member can see all the items the other members have to offer and anyone can propose trades
  • Because all the members know each other and may regularly meet in the same place (like at work) - it is often possible to swap items in person
  • Real names (not screen names) are used within Private TradeHuts as each member knows the other members

How many members does a Private TradeHut need?

Nearly everyone has lots of Video Games and DVDs gathering dust. Say you had 10 members and they each added 20 DVDs and 20 Video Games. Suddenly there is a pool of 400 items for people to swap. A Private TradeHut might have as few as 3 or 4 members or hundreds. There is no limit but - the more members you have - the more swap opportunities you have.

How do I join a Private TradeHut?

You join a Private TradeHut when you are invited to by someone else - or you create your own Private TradeHut and invite other people to join you. You can be a member of an unlimited number of other people's TradeHuts and you can create an unlimited number of your own TradeHuts.

How do I create a Private TradeHut?
