This & That: Online Auction Roundup
1) BarterBee Swap Site
By Ina Steiner
Reminder: AuctionBytes does not endorse the products and services featured in the "This & That" column, which often features new Web sites. (Anyone can set up a Web site.) Fraud is becoming widespread in the online auction world, and you should think twice before giving private information or User IDs and passwords to any third party.

Swap sites seem to be coming into fashion. BarterBee.com allows users the unlimited trading of DVDs, CDs, and video games. "Conceptually, you could compare us to eBay meets NetFlix." Pricing is $4.95 per month for unlimited trading.
