The time for Spring cleaning has arrived, and Kirpeep is here to help YOU out!







Spring cleaning is the perfect time for us to open up our windows, welcome in the fresh air, and make our home a clean, happy, organized space.  It gives us the opportunity to get rid of the old, and welcome in the new.  

Do you own anything that you no longer use?

Furniture that might be cluttering up your home?

Clothes that you no longer wear?

Are you ready for a complete home makeover ?

Instead of throwing everything away, why not post your items on Kirpeep?  Kirpeep is an exchange engine that lets you buy, sell, and trade goods and services.  If you have something that you no longer find useful, post it on Kirpeep and trade for something you could use - or make some extra cash for that home makeover. Things that you might think are undesirable to you might be treasures to others!

We have many categories including furniture, electronics, and household items. Looking for new decorations? Find them on Kirpeep! Trying to do some fun DIY decorations? Search Kirpeep and see what others have to offer - you’ll be surprised at what you find!

Kirpeep’s Awesome Austin Adventure



It’s Spring and the weather is much nicer now, which means that we can go out and start enjoying all the events that are going on. We are happy to say that Kirpeep was part of the action in Austin, TX last week. Austin is home to SXSW, short for South by Southwest. It’s a weeklong conference that is broken up into three different sections. The first part is the interactive conference, followed by the music and film conferences.

The interactive conference is where new technologies are showcased for the world to see. Kirpeep hosted the SXSWi 2013 Ultimate Swag Challenge during SXSW. The objective of the Swag Challenge was to give SXSWi attendees the opportunity to interact with up-and-coming startups and businesses... And win some awesome prizes while doing it!

It was a three-day challenge with daily prizes as well as three grand prizes. The daily winners won Amazon $100 gift cards and 1st place winner, Bryan Andaya, took home a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. We would like to thank everyone who took part in the Swag Challenge, both companies as well as participants. We are looking forward to making next year’s Swag Challenge bigger and better!

And we've got great news for anyone who missed out. We saved some Kirpeep swag for our loyal Kirpeep users. You can be the owner of awesome Kirpeep swag by creating as many Kirpeep listings as you can between now and next Wednesday. Remember that you can create listings for goods and services, as well as needs and offers. Our contest will end on March 27th and we will announce the three winners on the 28th.

So start creating your listings and good luck!

Awesome Exchange at Kirpeep!


It is a new year and Kirpeep is ready to make this a great one. We are happy to see that our loyal users, “Kirpeeps” are using our site for the exact purpose we created it. Our goal is for people to exchange goods and services with or without money.  We will now start spotlighting awesome trades. The awesome trade of the month goes to Kirpeep users Alex Garcia and Ana Rodriguez.
Alex is a full-time student who happens to be a very good photographer.  Alex has his plate full with schoolwork, a part-time job, and photography gigs on the side. He needed a logo for his photography business cards but didn’t have the time to sit down and create one. So Alex decided to let Kirpeep handle the situation, he created a listing and let our site find his perfect match.
Ana is a Social Media consultant who works out of Geekdom. She also creates custom designs for some of her customers. At around the same time that Alex posted his need for a design, Ana was looking into hiring a photographer to take a couple of headshots for her. She came across Alex’s listing and decided to reach out to him in hopes of making an awesome exchange. He would get his custom design and she would get her headshots.
Ana and Alex decided to meet at Geekdom on January 23, to get their trade on! Alex the master mind behind the camera captured every pose and smile that Ana gave. In exchange for the photo shoot, Ana has created a logo for Alex’s photography business, ATG Photo SA. This logo will help Alex showcase his business and help him branch out here in San Antonio.






With the help of Kirpeep, Ana and Alex were able to get in contact with one another and create an exchange that they both benefited from. Kirpeep helps people from the community to find one another and see what they each have to offer. Join Ana and Alex on Kirpeep and begin trading with one another, you never know what trades you might find!



Keep it real Kirpeeps!
