The Barter Thread

[tampon]

Barter old school style is one of the best ways I do business. It get things done for cost to me and the person you are doing the work for is getting what they want for cost to them. Everyones a winner.

I thought I would start a thread for people to mention what they do, and what types of things they need doing. Hopefully fingers crossed a PH Barter agreement!

I my self am a upholsterer, I do traditional and modern, spring repairs, cshions filled etc. I would quite like to get my mazda MOT'ed and serviced quite soon. Any takers ? Windsor area

Oh also thought, need a tv 28 inchs, can be bigger, widescreen, let me know.

We could use a barter system. But how long until someone started being a bit clever and used, oh I don't know, round discs of metal as tokens which could be exchanged for goods or services.

Yeah but thats not in the spirt of the thread, I doubt I could swap a few new cushion interiors with Tescos for a tv, might be worth a try though, do you think I get the clubcard points ?

Then some evil nasty types might create a black economy and keep it all to themselves.
