barter system

[Scott]

I like the notion of this thread and have thought about it several times in the past. The one I think could work would be where you say what you do, and you say what you are after. That way users could elect to either pay for, or trade services.

IE:

Saam (Geelong)
Is a: Painter
Needs a: Tree Lopper
Trans Type: Cash or Swap

OR

Saam (Geelong)
Is a: Painter
Needs a: Nothing
Trans Type: Cash

In this example, people like me who can't really barter with our work still have the choice to just engage an AFF'er to do work we want done. If you happen to be a tiler that needs some carpentry work done, you could elect to swap trades.
