How does it work?
iTradeAnime keeps the playing field level by allowing you to trade your anime at a fair market value. Therefore, if you pick up a newly released dvd and want to try something new a week later, you don't lose all the hard earned equity in the title by trading it in to one of the major retailers; you trade it along to another gamer, just like yourself, who is looking for the exact dvd you have.
iTradeAnime uses an internal currency called the iBuck to process trades between all of its members. The price for each Anime is based on the current market value (based on sophisticated reporting methods) and is geared to give a fair trading advantage for your hard earned dollars.
The concept itself is based off of an easy to use message system, not unlike email, that allows you to communicate with your fellow Animers, become friends with them and ultimately develop a trading community of like-minded individuals who you can continuously perform trades with, all for the low cost of one dollar per trade.
What are the benefits?
iTradeAnime is more than just a barter system. We encourage the entire community lifestyle that exists between animers. Do you have a buddy or two you specifically like to trade with? No problem, simply add them to your account as a friend and keep an eye on their dvd list for games you could be potentially interested in. Do you see a user's dvd list and find their tastes closely match your own? Send them a message and see if they want to do some trades.
iTradeAnime is about creating relationships that will allow you to keep your dvd collection in its most valuable state. We encourage a fair trade system so that those who purchase dvd, enjoy them for a while, and then move on to the next dvd can continue to trade at a fair market value and sample a wide selection of dvd's.
As anime enthusiasts ourselves, we know how troubling it can be to lose our hard earned money by bringing our dvd's into the major retailers for trade. Now, with the advent of iTradeAnime, we will no longer suffer under the old rules and have adopted the concept of fair trade; we hope you enjoy saving your money as well.
