After the creation of the monetary system, bartering took a backseat as a way to get the things we needed. But bartering is making a comeback these days, as history shows it has done every time money became more scarce.
If you enjoy the idea of bartering as much as I do, I'd like to pass along to you a couple of sites where you can put the bartering system to work for you. One of the best ones I found is Swaptree, where you can trade your books, CDs, movies and games. A site similar to Swaptree is Book Mooch. Oh heck, here's the whole list I found of bartering sites!
Here is also a site I really like where you can sell or trade your unwanted items, very similar to what Mercardi.com does on their site with gift cards.
Bartering is fun, so get busy trading your blackberries for my fish!
Think you forgot BarterQuest.com in your list. For me, it's definitely within the first two ranks!
ReplyDeleteI think there are already so many good ones - not possible to list all of them in just one article. But you're right, barterquest rocks
