Wired News: Swap DVDs Online for a Buck

Wired News points out this interesting real-world peer-to-peer system which may help out those folks with a bunch of older DVDs they're looking to get rid of: Peerflix. The concept is to trade unwanted DVDs on a (sort-of) one-for-one basis; DVDs are assigned a "Peerbux" value based on their age and desirability and trades can be made for a $1 service charge each. The review is a bit mixed but generally I think it's a great idea -- certainly better than trying to get rid of the same discs on Amazon and getting very little in return (Amazon certainly takes a larger cut of the action!). I'll give it a try myself and let you know how it works.
