Bartering can and does happen with money. An item is for sale at $10 someone offers $7, that is batering. Usually an offer is met with a counter offer, it goes back and forth till both parties agree on terms.

Most of what people are saying on here is trading to me, I will give you this for that. That is a trade. A barter is finding common ground on a price.
what you just described is a purchase not a barter. A barter is an exchange of an object or service.
