Inbox dollars redux
I made mention of inbox dollars back in October of last year. I gave it an ok review. In the intervening time, I have changed my opinion. The amount of money given per survey has decreased and I fail to qualify for the majority of them so trying to find a survey, I do qualify for takes too much time. The paid emails have lately been expiring before I can hit them. In the past I would go through them quickly when I had several of them, lately they expire even if it's the same day I get them. So basically I'm saying don't bother with this service. While it does pay some small amount of money it is not worth it anymore.

SwapaDVD
I recently signed up with Swapadvd. It is a DVD trading site similar to PaperbackSwap but for DVD's instead of books. While personally not as interested in DVD's as much as I am in books, I thought I'd give this site a try. Considering I'm more into Asian cinema at the moment then American released films (mainly because I've seen most of the American ones I wanted to since they are easier to obtain), I really don't expect much from it but maybe I'll find some good films who knows.
While on the subject of online trading, for trading books I've had more luck and had more trades through bookmooch than I've had with Paperbackswap. If you were thinking about using a book trading site I think you should sign up for both to get the most chances, but I find bookmooch to be the better site, even though the other site does give the option of purchase credits at a reasonable price from them and bookmooch doesn't.

Book Trading Websites
I enjoy trading books I don't want (duplicates, accidental purchases, gifts I didn't want, etc.) to get books I do want. I use both Paperbackswap and Bookmooch. I've found some pretty rare books from those sites that I really wanted, many of which are hard to find in book stores, or are expensive (for instance I got some manga in the original Japanese). Its also often cheaper than buying the books since you only have to pay the postage to send them out (also paperbackswap gives you the option of buying credits and the price of a credit is often cheaper than buying the book online when you factor in shipping).
I read a lot but have accidentally bought several books that I already had and have been given books I did not want. I also occasionally have to get rid of books to make room for new books (some I got only to read but don't want to keep). My number one entertainment expense is on books. I own several thousand, problem is I don't have room for them or new ones. Throwing away a book is in my opinion a terrible thing to do. I do and have donated books to the library and other organizations.

Inbox Dollars
I have been a member of inbox dollars for awhile now and just received a check for $28.37 after $3.00 processing fee. You can get cash for referring others, you get $5 for signing up, doing stupid offers, reading emails (really just clicking through), making purchases online from sites you already do, and doing surveys ($1 per survey).
