Daily Prompt: Bartering, Old Fashioned, Or New Age?

Daily Prompt: Barter System

by michelle w. on July 8, 2013

If the world worked on a barter system, how would you fare?
Would you have services to barter?
Would you be successful, or would you struggle?

Photographers, artists, poets: show us SKILL.

The old saying is that you get farther with honey than vingegar.
If you have a bee hive then you have gold.

We have customers who trade us products for some pretty strange items and services.

I am currently in the market to barter for a dishwasher and a dryer…wish me luck.
