Q. What's in a Savings Deposit
Box?
A. If it fits it ships! Mixed sizes, styles or genders of jeans
and casual clothing including bottoms, tops, shoes,
outerwear and accessories. Get FREE USPS/JeanBank Savings
Deposit Boxes delivered to your door!
get FREE 11" x 13" x 3.5" medium boxes - FRB2 pck. of 10!
Q. It's just getting
started!
A. In the spirit of co-operation everyone wins! JeanBank is doubling each new Founder's
Deposit and you'll have first choice of withdrawal from
all 'new' jeans or goods on Deposit paying only
the post office! Founders Bonus through April 2011 (the
bonus is paid when your Box is shipped). Your
participation and desire to Recycle nice, clean goods
with others is needed and appreciated.
Q. Where/how do I start ? A. Check out our How To page or just join & log-in and
Make Deposit link will appear at top. Most
Depositor's goods are worth $100 to $2500!
Q. Will this JeanBank co-op work? A. The fact is most of us have clothes we
don't wear but until now there hasn't been much we can do with them.
I got $4@ from a Plato's resale shop for near perfect Levi's (they cost me $40@).
They resell them for $14-16@. Consignment isn't much better and takes longer.
Bartering sucks - "I'll give you 2-34/32 Levi's for 1-32/32 True Religion" and
even if it does work postage on one pair isn't cheap. By creating a fair system
of valuation and using the USPS box.
A little JeanBank
history! The first Jean
Exchange(s) opened in south-western Ohio near the
University of Cincinnati in January 1990. We traded &
recycled casual clothing 2-for-1, two pair of your jeans
for one pair of comparable value. We realized we could
help more people by providing 1-for-1 exchanges or trades
on-line. Over 20 years through five locations we developed a simple formula that
accurately determines a residual market value which our
members accept as a fair evaluation of
their goods value. JeanBank is the culmination of over 40
years in the casual clothing business. We hope you find
participating as rewarding as we do bringing it to
you.
-------------------------------------- extra stuff to delete?
A level laundry basket full?
Co-op Depositors receive a new mini-wardrobe with multiple items and looks for the generous value of their goods virtually deposited in the JeanBank. No cash changes hands.
Our Goal is a free and easy exchange of goods no longer needed or used. Old G'old! Our ambition is excitement! The thrill of 3 new tops and 3 new jeans for only $10 postage!
and ships for $10 flat-rate.
If it fits it ships to New York, Texas, California, Alaska Guam or Afganistan for $10 (and a little change). Someone squeezed 25 toddler items in one box.
What Deposit Value does JeanBank calculate
for your jeans & casual clothes?
*Open Trade (BEST CHOICE) - anyone can Withdraw your
Savings Deposit Box and you can use your value to Withdraw anothers
*Closed Trade - specify Circle/Group who can
Request your Deposit Box. You decide who gets it. This option limits choices. GIFT your BOX by
virtually Depositing your Gift Box and giving it away to
someone in need. You can also offer it for TRADE
and then GIFT using your balance. Best if you want to give kids clothes in exchange for your adult deposit, for example.
*Open Gift - anyone can Request your
Deposit Box Gift. You decide where it goes.
*Closed Gift - specify Circle who can
Request your Gift. You decide where it goes.
Q. Request a GIFT? or Have Trade but need specific items? A. If you don't have a Deposit
but do have a really deep need Request a Gift;
If you have a Deposit and have specific need Request for Goods
For both: specify gender, age, size, items, styles and email your
REQUEST. Gift Receipient pays postage unless other
arrangements are made. It can be a Closed Circle/Group or
Open Circle Request (coming soon). A.
For
example, all fall'10 & spring'11 Macys and Dillards Brands have been
added to our database. Deposit Grane jeans your M$RP range is $20-25 but
deposit 7 for All Mankind and your M$RP range is $165-215. What
you actually paid is not a factor which is great for savy
buyers. Condition is important as will be Interest
soon.
