Winning! 2 Lucky Swappers Listed Their Way to $1K

Phew! January was a complete whirlwind here at Swap.com, where we swapped up a storm all month long for World Swap Day, both online and in person. Our expert swapper-judges are on a first name basis with the folks at the post office, because we couldn’t help ourselves from getting in on the swapping action, too — especially after seeing all 1.5 MILLION of the amazing items you listed on the new Swap.com Market!

Even though there could be only two lucky winners in our List Your Way to $1K Giveaway, damn, did you give them a run for their money. Here are our picks for the two lucky winners of the $1,000 AMEX card, to use toward getting what they Want, along with our favorite runners up — plus a few listings that really caught our attention.

WINNER! Eileen McCormick (Sodapopiswaycute)
Not only did Eileen impress us with the volume, variety, and quality of items she listed for swapping, she’s offering up her apartment in downtown San Francisco, too! We always say that swapping is a lifestyle, applying to almost every type of stuff & services, and Eileen really is a tried & true (not to mention chic) swapper. We can’t wait to see what she does with her winnings!

WINNER! Curt Wiederhoeft (Curtw)
A veteran community member who’s been with us our entire journey (since the beginning of the Swap Media days), Curt fully embraced the new Swap.com Market as a leader among men. From vintage board games and collectibles to popular gadgets, audio equipment, and electronics, he had no reservations about listing all the fabulous stuff he wasn’t really using, not even doing it for the contest — how’s that for a true swapper?! Hats off to you, sir, we really look forward to following your swaps.
