| I wouldn't be able to enjoy my swap because I'd be afraid that my stuff would get stolen!

Donating YT 11K Club Member | Well i assume ppl that do this take their valuables with them and also they stay in each other's homes so there must be a contract of some kind.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I would totally swap with someone in an apt. in Manhattan! I think I would die haha. Not that I've got much to trade. A rented house in the middle of Nowhere'sville, USA. oooh a place in Ireland would be fun. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/swp/499794551.html <----- My family is originally from Cork!

But, I was also interested in your discussion about home swapping as I just happen to run a home exchange agency from London! Craigslist is great for many things but, with home exchange (especially for first timers) it's better to look at sites specifically devoted to home exchange (like mine for instance) as this is where you will find many exchange offers all over the world and get lots of advice so that you won't be worried about having home exchange guests in your home at all by the time you do it. In fact, lots of home swappers are happy to look after each other's pets (v. useful if you are exchanging abroad) or to have you bring your pet with you (if exchanging in your own country). If you look at my site (I've been running it for 23 years), and check the listings, you will see which members are happy to look after pets and to have pets brought to their homes: http://www.homebase-hols.com Maybe we could have a special section for Yorkie owners to swap with each other!? For now, I've got to get away from this site or I just might go out and buy another Yorkie! Cheers! | |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | Yea you're right LOL Some might not be true. There was an ad i responded to about an apt. downtown, $800 for 3 bedrooms That's great for NY but too good to be true, the guy responded, def. a scam!

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I think it's good in theory but I personally wouldn't do it. Too much liability. People dont' take care of your stuff like you do and to have it be a perfect stranger wouldn't do well for me. I can see doing it with a friend but not someone like on craigslist.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | ^You bring up a good point. I would only do it after chatting/getting to know the person who would be living in my house.

| Yep and I'd make 'em take pictures like we do with pups, like, take a picture of yourself in your living room or your kitchen and bathrooms and such with a piece of paper that says my name.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Yup. oh wouldn't it be horrible to wind up over in Europe somewhere in some dumpy shack? haha. (Not that it would be funny if it really happened.)
