Barter is an efficient way when u live in small communities. See the Japanese anime film "Wolf Children". Effective modern barter system. U exchange food products because you produce one in excess and u need other food too.

I hate the system of bartering and avoid the places which thrive on this whenever I visit countries such as Morocco or Tunisia. I am much happier with the system I am accustomed to, which is look at the price and decide whether I wish to buy the item or not.

@celticeagle They are not likely to sell the item below a certain price, which means that I either end up paying the correct price or a higher price, so I much prefer having a set price to either accept or decline.

And even if you could talk the price down a little you don't want to do that?

I don't personally but my son does and has. It is good for anyone who can offer a service for another service.

@celticeagle ..I think we would need people to record event that led to holocaust and thereafter. Moreover, whatever little they know.

I don't think that I have bartered for anything since I was a kid.

I used to do one for one at school, which basically means if I can have some crisps from you, you can can one from me! It was fun.

I think it is a great idea. I have not done it that much. I think people do need to seriously consider doing it since it is very possible that the American Dollar could crash. I don't think many realize how seriously in debt this country is. Do you realize how much money is being printed?

I have not used it as of yet, but I know when my family go on holiday to other countries they do it a lot to get prices down.
