Just about anything. Parents with school age children are the main users of the site, so anything these people might be interested in can be traded. School items are the common theme, but really it's anything children use while they are growing up.
Back to topNo. We only provide parents and students the ability to list an advertisement that is going to be seen by other parents and students. Parents and students conduct the trade directly between themselves.

Students at higher education institutions trade throughout the entire year, as well as many others who may wish to use this site.

Back to topYes. Wanted Ads are very important for you to find the items you seek. You can constantly search our database for these items or you simply place a Wanted Ad and our system will automatically notify you when the item is listed For Sale by another parent. This places you at the front of the queue for those items you are seeking. Wanted ads also encourage our parents to sell those items stored in their cupboards that may otherwise never see the light of day.
Back to topYes, we encourage you to do so. Many items are too good to throw out, and may not have much monetary value, while another family would really appreciate them. The concept of the Sustainable School Shop is to encourage recycling and re-use where ever possible, and we have constructed the site accordingly. The more items recycled and re-used the better.
