Comments on: Connecting – Part III: Trade Exchanges http://lillieammann.com/2006/10/16/connecting-part-iii/ A Writer's Words, An Editor's Eye Tue, 22 May 2012 09:50:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Lillie http://lillieammann.com/2006/10/16/connecting-part-iii/comment-page-1/#comment-134361 Lillie Mon, 08 Aug 2011 12:58:29 +0000 http://lillieammann.com/blog/?p=59#comment-134361 Andrew, I've written a series on bartering as well, beginning with <a href="http://lillieammann.com/2008/08/21/barter-part-1-what-is-it/">Barter—Part 1: What Is It?</a>. The primary advantage of a trade exchange over bartering directly with other companies or individuals is that with a trade exchange (sometimes called a barter club), you don't have to need the other person's goods or services. You are paid in credits that are equivalent of cash, and you can use those credits to make purchases from any other member (or combination of members) of the exchange. So if I need my office painted but the painter doesn't need editing work, we can still barter. I pay him in trade credits, and he uses those credits to go to the dentist and take his family out for dinner. Andrew,

I love the fact that your accountant participates, that's got to make it a whole lot easier come tax time!
