I've been running that project for almost four years now. I trade for art and odd objects and whatever I get -- I trade for something else. Everyone I trade with has to tell me a story (about anything) and I document it all on my website. Check it out....and trade me something! Thanks for the mention about bARTer Sauce!

For example, last semester I traded actor friends headshots for dinner (and experience taking headshots). The clear valuation of services is key. But, though most bills need to be paid in cash, bartering clothes, some food (friends cook each other dinner), lessons or rides can limit the things I need to spend money on. Which is good for my finances. Great post--I really enjoy your format and approach! <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jessicas last blog post..<a href="http://feelingelephants.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/fanfiction-fan-studies-copyright-oh-my/" rel="nofollow">FanFiction, Fan Studies, Copyright, Oh My!</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> I agree with Mletta a little–bartering does seem to to be easiest for creative services.

Bartering is one of those frugal skills I really should brush up on. The idea of trading an item with someone else so that the transaction is mutually beneficial to both parties is an exciting idea to me. Unfortunately, it is something I rarely practice in my world, but I’ll work on it. (@On Simplicity) [...] [...] Simplify Your Life By Bartering for What You Need.
