If you own any DVDs that you no longer want or need, you should consider signing up for Peerflix. It's is a great new service (out of Vancouver!) that I just signed up for a few weeks ago. The way it works is you register the DVDs that you own by entering their UPC codes into the site. Peerflix will send you some envelope mailers. When people to request the DVDs, Peerflix sends you an email with their address. You send it to them, and thereby accrue Peerbux. Likewise, you enter a list of DVDs you're interested in receiving, and they are sent to you by other Peerflix users, and the Peerbux are deducted from your account. The first 10 trades are free, and then 99 cents each thereafter.

Some things they could do to improve the service: mainly, give us more information.

• What are the most requested DVDs? then people could go out, and buy the DVDs they were interested in knowing they could then send them out to other Peerflix users after they were done with it.
• Where are Peerflix users? Since you want to send to people that are in your region (i.e. Canada or another country) this is crucial info.
• Build a community site! Let Peerflix users with the same taste in movies meet one another, and decide who will buy which movie, and then trade them. Peerflix likely believes this would reduce business, but I suspect it would not. The incentive to earn Peerbux is too strong.

So far I've been impressed. Give it a try, and let me know if it works out for you.
