Our Story
"There it sat, staring her right back in the face - a living, breathing, snarling, overflowing bin of toys.  Her child hadn't touched most of them in months, many of them in years.  How could she let this happen?  Where did they all come from?  Something had to be done."

Toy Bin Trader was started by a group of parents with a real problem: overwhelming piles of toys acquired over the years from birthday parties and holidays.  I mean, we're talking bohemoth jaggernuat toy monsters hiding in the back of the closet with barbie dolls for arms and Nerf guns for legs. 

The average life of toys is shrinking; kids outgrow, forget or replace them with the next best thing.  Toy Bin Trader allows parents to help kids to upload their old toys, swap them with items on their wishlist, or donate them for a cause.

No money is exchanged.  No credit card information needed.  It's simple:

Step 1: Download one of our worksheets, then sit down with your child to pick out which toys to swap.
Step 2: Create a profile and add toys to your inventory.
Step 3: Work with your child to create a wishlist.
Step 4: Use swap express to find exact 1 : 1 matches, or browse.
Step 5: Watch your kid enjoy their new toy without spending a dime*

And if you can't find a match - teach your child a valuable lesson about caring and donate the toy to someone in need.

Toy Bin Trader has two real purposes; (1) to help parents harvest value from their growing toy collections, and (2) encourage kids to donate old toys to other, less fortunate children across the world.

Shrink your toy budget. Teach your kids to give.
