Peerflix, headquartered in Menlo Park, CA. is the new, easy way for anyone to get the most out of their DVD collections.

Started in 2004, Peerflix is a peer-to-peer online trading platform for physical goods or services. In its first application, the system allows users to trade DVDs across a large, distributed network, where each US household serves as a distribution center. Peerflix itself carries no inventory and does not participate in the transaction: The company simply matches people and products while optimizing for trade speed, frequency, and geography. Peerflix transfers its low overhead directly to customers by only charging $0.99 for each trade the team facilitates.

With Peerflix, members can maintain a dynamic and updated library of DVD titles, in a cost effective manner. While still in its "beta" phase, Peerflix has already grown to become the leading online destination for DVD owners to trade their DVDs. The Peerflix service is currently available in both the United States and Canada.
