If you have modules you dont use, you simply have 3 options:

a) use them

b) dont use them + keep them

c) get rid of them

2 of these options are worthy. if you dont start using the module you only
have one option left.

regardless of if you sell or swap it, whats the likely hood of finding
someone who wants it, and also lives close enough to actually come round and
pick it up pretty much zero i think.

If you use escrow and COD, then trust isnt really an issue either, however,
these services obviously put up the price.

So, risk can be made such as it is of little consequence for a relativly
small price, and, cost of shipping, as discussed before, is also of little
consequence.

Id be supprised if many people want to swap stuff. The fact however
remains: its all quite feasible, should the desire be there.

ps. whether or not i like making cgi's has very little to do with how
complicated international transactions are.
