I could not believe the amount of gear that I accumulated after the birth of my first child and I was very conservative in my choices too on account of space and frugality. Fortunately, I'm using a lot of it again with my second child but beyond that, I'm going to have three baby carriers, two strollers and a crib looking for a new home.

Enter Zwaggle, an online resource for parents to list items that they are ready to part with for free. Though they receive no monetary compensation, parents can earn "zoints" to be used for items they wish to have from the site. In addition to spending zoints, the buyer must also pay for shipping.

Though Zwaggle's website is well maintained and easy to use, it still seems too convoluted. When I want to get rid of something fast, I use Freecycle or craigslist. The latter can earn me a couple of dollars and the former doesn't get me any zoints but I do get some karma credits.
