The Return of Bartering

It’s rare to reach a point in your life — or even a day — when you don’t need something. Of course, you may not always have, or want to spend, the money to satisfy those needs. In these times, it’s a good idea to take stock of what you can do or might have that others may want. With the economy as weak as it is, more people and businesses are open to bartering for goods and services.

People are always willing to unload the things they have for the things they need, it’s just the way things go; and usually they don’t want to part with their money to make it happen. In this light, bartering is often a forgotten method of acquisition (especially in North America).

The fact is that, by using your skills and services, you can acquire many of the things you need without having to open up your wallet.

One of the largest expenses people deal with is vehicle maintenance, and one thing absolutely everyone needs done is taxes. Well, if you are experienced in tax preparation and need some work done on your car, perhaps talk to a mechanic about offering your services for his.

Now this is one just example of bartering. The fact is that nearly everybody possesses some body of knowledge or skill set that other people are looking for. All you’ve got to do is find the ones who have what you need!

Try to pursue trading partners or suggest alternative forms of payment for services rendered. Bartering usually works the best when you have an excess of inventory or perhaps work in a seasonal industry.

There are also web sites like freecycle.com and barter.com that put people in touch to trade for the things they need. Not only is bartering a great way to save, but it also helps you get rid of the stuff you don’t want, while letting you have fun doing it!
