Bartering offers a whole new way of transacting with each other, without some of the baggage that cash brings…

Im about to launch a new website dedicated to bartering in the UK (http://www.favabank.co.uk) where people can make exchanges using an online currency to keep account of everything.

I’m sure we’ll see much more bartering as economies continue to decline and technology allows bartering to become so much more sophisticated…

Recently laid off, I am starting to do marketing consulting. I am telling every potential client that I’ll take up to 25% barter, regardless of whether I need their product or not. And if I connect with someone who provides a good or service I need, I would happily do a straight barter deal.

Thanks for your comments, Business Ethos, Leah, and Babalu. We at Recessionwire did a little bartering to get our site up and running, exchanging our editing services for some IT work. You’ve got to be creative in this economy, and barter is a good way of doing business.

What’s old is new again, the pre-money economy makes a comeback. People would be astounded if they knew how much stuff is actually available for free, just ask for it and companies will send it. cashcuddler.com
