I also try to go as cheap/free as possible, chasing good deals is a hoby
I was taught for tools or equipment always buy the cheapest you can find. If you use it enough and for long enough that it breaks or is not good enough then splurge and get the quality version. Like if you get into drawing buy that $15 pencil kit...in a month or 2 if you find you want to continue with drawing but you need better pencils then go out and buy the 50 or 100 dollar version. At that point you will know you want to continue drawing and you have enough foundational knowledge to know what is important and what is pure marketing.

Omg, the amount of time (and basically labour) on the second-hand market either for financial or ethical (less trash) reasons.
I re-purpose sooo many things, and use so much random crap for projects when my budget won't allow completing them, but frankensteining my backlog will.

This is a really good idea
This would be good against overconsumption too!
It's called leasing
If you're alright with paying Goodwill prices instead of free swaps, this is basically what a creative reuse store is if you want to search for one near you. I've got so much craft stuff on the cheap from the one near me.
Fun fact, the oven I use to make my cosmetics was recently recalled.
You'd need to have the business be the arbitar in shipping so if one ships and the other doesn't ship in a given time the more functional one gets their stuff back and a refund. The nonshipper pays a fee to the business equivalent to the cost of if they had shipped their item.
I bet you could have the business collect the shipping in advance actually, split evenly between parties, and then email expiring labels that would get the packages to the business site and await the partner package. Once both packages are confirmed, they get new labels pushing them to their new homes.
