Such As: Restaurants - Fast Foods - Furniture / Appliance Shops - House Painters / Remodelers - People who have things that they no longer use - Printing Shops - Jewelers - Entertainers - Automobiles for sale and Property that you want to get off your hands, these are just a few of the kinds of items that people will exchange, barter or swap.
If say for instance,you have someting that you do well. Like typing or computer skills that you will teach to mr.Smith, then mr.Smith will pay you by giving you the digital camera that he really doesn't use that much, anyway! And it's just that simple.
And, by the way! Once you start the bartering process, it takes about 3 barter transactions and you'll be trading like a pro.
I've personally known, met with and traded with some of the finest barterers in Chicago or in this country.
Send me, an email if you'd like my advice on how you or your group can get started in Barter / Swap...2005.
Note: Just about all new restaurants, especially the 'popular ones ', do sometimes as much as 25% of their business in trade: Exchanging their prepared food, for whatever products or services they need, without exchanging cash. Although, both parties must pay taxes on each transaction.
Again, email sybounds@yahoo.com, if you need my advice.
Happy Trading,
