These days it seems as if everything revolves around money, but there is one place where it doesn’t: BarterBuddies.com, a new online community, based in the U.K., where people can come to swap goods – no money ever changes hands.
Barter Buddies takes traditional ideas of exchange and trade, and applies them to the modern world using 21st century technology. If you have goods or services to offer, the Barter Buddies system can put you in touch with an interested trader. Sign up and the first three months are free; and after that, membership costs £15 a year.
Bartering may seem like it belongs to the bygone days of horse and carriage, but it is perfectly suitable for today’s shaky economic times and planetary warming. By connecting with like-minded individuals in your locality to swap goods or services, you can cut down on air miles and packaging. You can also find a pretty good deal, too.
