Wanna trade your old CD's? LaLa to the rescue!
Lala is a recently launched service to help individuals list their music CD library to enable them to trade them with other users.
The website is a nice AJAX mash-up with what is essentially just a db of CD covers and users who either own or want them.
How does this work? The site is free to register, but they make their money by charging a transaction fee. Each trade costs each user $1.49 (1$ fee + $.49 shipping) and there is no middleman.
What makes me sad is that I had come up with a strikingly similar concept several years ago with a coworker, but we could not get it past the prototype stage due to lack of time to work on it....sigh chalk that up with yet another lost opportunity...but great work by LaLa!
