I recommend strongly www.barterquest.com You can barter almost anything goods, services and real estate. I found beachfront house in Thailand, sent offer of my ny city condo and wanting for confirmation from my trade partner. Hope, I will be packing next week for the beach. Wish me Luck!
Communities that used a barter system in history prospered until a central money system was introduced which devalued their products. Cheryl Mikela
Democrats never look at the cause and effect. You install my furnace, i fix your car. Try and overtax that you cash crazy liberals.
Keep in mind that a Barter is a taxable event, be sure and pay you fair share....
Exactly how do you determine what is a fair deal? And to whom do I pay the tax? Maybe just write a check for 25 cents (of course paying 10 cents for the check and 44 cents for a stamp - plus the envelope) and send it to the governor of my state?
And is receiving home grown tomatoes and corn but making the donor a cake considered 'barter'?
Look at you 1040....
