I don't like the default options adding extra cost. I had to look around to see how to not choose the add-ons.

Michael's is a fun place for crafty people. They don't have everything you might want, but they keep a fairly broad stock of arts and crafts supplies. Prices can be high or low compared to value, depending on the item. Coupons can helpful and are always available online now. These frequently give you 40% off a single item.
I shop at Michael's for things I cannot get at Walmart or don't want to wait to get from an online shop. Michael's carries things like high-end drawing tools, a great variety of yarn, a whole aisle of ribbons, cake decorating items, and a huge selection of scrapbooking supplies.

I have purchased from Swap.com about 4 times in the last year. There are some excellent values to be had, but buyers should be very careful. There are some tricksy things you need to watch out for!
1. Look at clothing with the largest magnification you can. Descriptions don't always note accurately what degree of wear an article of clothing might have. For example, I purchased a Calvin Klein cardigan that was supposed to be white, but was actually yellowed with age. The tag looked ancient. I don't buy anything used that is not listed in at least "good" condition. This was disappointing.
2. Watch for price changes once you add items to your cart. I just placed an order and was shocked to see three items DOUBLED in price once I put them in my cart. I don't see why this happened- there was no lightning deal or announcement of special pricing with a limited time to buy. Fortunately, there was a note of the price increase and I was able to delete these before finalizing my purchase.
3. Often there are multiples of the same item in the same size with different pricing. Be sure to check for the lowest price before buying.
I sold one box of clothing to swap. The return was not worth the hassle. I sent only items in very good or new/like new condition and got about $25 for about 12-15 items. They rejected a few things and volunteered to mail them back to me at my expense or to donate them or "dispose" of them at no cost. I made about $2 per item on like-new name brand sneakers, an adidas sports bra with tags on, etc.

It is not all bad though, as I have found some very nice items on swap at fair prices. I got a beautiful black Dressbarn dress for $8, a denim jacket that I love for about $10, and many other worthwhile things. I will not sell with swap again, but I will continue to shop, carefully!
