Beat the recession
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2009 7:43 pmI had an idea for the site. I think there is a site offering this but thought it would be a good idea to do something here.
Basically the idea is instead of paying for things with cash people could barter instead. (eg someone may want to part with a bumper and need some mechanical work done, someone else might be a mechanic and need a bumper. So they could arrange something between them. The bumper for a service)
It would need some bargaining in certain cases as one might have a something considerably more than the other. As the initial interest in this wouldn't warrant creating a new forum, anyone interested could post in the for sale section and say on their post that they are open to bartering.
Its a bit of a mad idea and not sure if it would work but I thought I'd suggest it as I'm an electrician and one of the lads bro's is a plumber so nstead of charging each other he fixed my leak and I fitted a lght in his attic. Thats what gave me the idea.
