CardSwap and Lola's Green Hair want you to make some cash on bad presents and product mistakes!

Gift cards are a super popular gift now and when you get the right one, it's awesome but when you don't, you are stuck with a piece of plastic in your wallet that you will never use!  You could regift it or even better, get some cash for it! CardSwap.ca has been around for two years and is Canada's first website for discounted gift cards.  They connect thousands of people across Canada who are looking to sell or buy unused gift cards. Most of their members can save up to 40 percent on their favorite retailers or redeem their unwanted gift cards for cash. What's really great is that CardSwap acts as the go-between, until you receive the card and know it is good, the payment is not released to the seller so there is no risk of getting a used up card!
If one of your New Year's resolutions is to reduce some of your beauty clutter then here's a great idea:
LolasGreenHair.com is a great place for frugalistas to sell their nearly new or gently used hair care products. Visitors can post ads for FREE through March 2011. This is an amazing way for you to make a little $$$ from the stuff collecting dust in your vanities. It also reduces your carbon footprint by consuming less.  And unlike Makeup Alley, selling is permitted, unlike Ebay, it doesn't have to be new and unlike Craig's List, you won't end up with a bunch of people with questionable english skills wanting you to cash a fake money order for more then the amount of the purchase and sending them back the difference!
