Trade DVDs With Peerflix
Unlike Netflix, which is a DVD rental service, Peerflix is a DVD trading service. To use Peerflix, you sign up for a free account and list the DVDs you want to trade. There is no monthly fee to join, only a 99 cents per-trade fee. When someone wants one of your listed movies, you just pop it into a trading envelope, put one ($0.39) stamp on it, and send the DVD to them. This gives you trading credits that you can use to pick out a movie you want to see. Like Netflix, just the DVDs themselves are traded, not the cases, so this is not the site for "collectors" to build up their DVD collections. The Peerflix PeerSafe protection program protects you from losing credits if any DVD is lost, stolen or damaged so you can trade worry-free. Peerflix has potential, so I hope it does well — I would like to trade out some of my DVDs for new ones!

I tried Peerflix and really liked the way I can get DVDs online in exchange for DVDs I have. I just traded “Goldmember” for “Pirates of the Caribbean” which doesn;t sound like a fair trade to me, but then I suppose that the other person felt the same way! And the process was simple. At 99 cents, I wonder how Blockbuster and Netflix can compete.
