About us

Welcome to Trade It

Hello! And a warm welcome to Trade-It!

We are dedicated to helping you buy and sell quickly and easily in your local area. Our website, www.trade-it.co.uk covers the whole of the South West, so if you live in this region then Trade-It is the site for you, giving you direct access to thousands of local bargains every minute of every day!

For those of us here at Trade-It community is what it’s all about. By supporting our local community we can do so many things including create new bonds and make new friends, boost our local economy (which has got to be a good thing!) and help do our bit for the environment by keeping it close to home and ‘recycling’ the things that we don’t want but someone else might.

Trade-It online allows you to easily place an ad or advertise your business to people in your area.

We also publish printed publications in the South West of England, Trade It and Trade It Local. These are packed full of bargains every week. We serve the local communities in Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Taunton and the surrounding towns and villages, so that we can help you buy and sell to people nearby, saving you both time and money.

From A-Z we've got it covered

You’ll find everything you need at Trade-It. Household bargains, cars, local services, events, jobs, holidays, property, pets, and much more. The content of both our site and printed publications are up to date, plus it's all in your local area, so you won't have to travel far to snap up a bargain.

It’s never been easier to shift those items that you just don’t have the room for; or find a bargain in your local area! Trade-It covers a wide range of private and business adverts. In the For Sale pages you’ll find everything from baby stuff to sports equipment, antiques to electrical goods. Whatever you need for your home; furniture, computing equipment, clothes or toys, you’ll find it here and at a great price.

There are also sections dedicated to your interests or work. Perhaps music or gardening is your favourite pass time? We’ve got section to provide you with the tools to expand your hobbies. Or maybe you want to add a new animal or pet to your growing family: in which case the pets section or livestock might be the perfect place for you.

We also have adverts for local events meaning that whenever you fancy a night out or something a little different there’s a spectrum of local activities in your community that you’ll find here. For that matter, you’re also able to advertise your own events so if you’ve got something to shout about; a charity event, blood drive or local yoga class then why not place it here?

There are also jobs, property and vehicles. So that, in theory, you could find a new job, then a new home closer to work and a new car to take you there in style all within one Trade-It edition! 

Clear out and Cash in

We know there’s nothing better than having a good old clear out, and making some cash in the process. You really can make money for old rope! After all; one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure. You may even be holding on to something that someone else in your local area is desperate to get their hands on. So, why not see if the items that are cluttering up your home aren't the perfect thing for someone in your area?
