No fees and no commission on swaps.
The community
Every collector knows the gap in the binder, and the thing in the drawer you never use but can’t bring yourself to sell. We’ve always sorted it out the same way: at fairs, in car parks, across a café table. SwapHive just puts that table on your phone.
One card short of a finished set, and it's in a stranger’s binder two streets away.
You love the hunt more than the keeping. A good swap is a good Saturday.
The thing you sold at nineteen and have wanted back ever since.
Different shelves, same habit. We'd rather swap than sell.
How it works
Simple, local and safe. No shipping, no hassle.
Browse collectibles near you, filtering by distance, category and condition.
Chat in the app and agree on the swap terms and meeting spot.
Pick what you offer and send the proposal to the other collector.
Choose a public, busy place to meet in person.
Once both of you confirm in the app, one generates a QR code and the other scans it to finish the swap.
Every verified swap builds your reputation and trust.

FAQ
SwapHive is a free app where collectors swap what they no longer use with people nearby. List what you’re not using, find what you’re after, agree the swap in chat, then confirm it in person with a QR code.
