If you read the definition of "bartering" it specifically states that it is a trade of goods and services without the exchange of money.

Sorry to hear you 'got took' tincan. What happened - what kind of exchange was it?

Many years ago, I bartered 3 full size quilts for 3 hand carved/hand painted cedar chests for 3 grand dgtrs HS graduations. Then bartered one for a hand made gun cabinet for late hubby & a quilt for a hand carved entry bench for my dgtr. (All my quilts are machine pieced & hand quilted)

These were 3 different deals w/vendors I had met while I had booths at different County Fair/Country Peddler type shows.

Have a blessed day & may all you quilts be filled w/love. :lol:

I just bartered for an Irish knit sweater, the knitter made the offer and I jumped at it. I quilted a queen quilt for her, we both got what we wanted.

We forget, but bartering of goods or services has been around since day one. Early man didn't have cash... but he often had something he could trade. My SIL bartered some homemade pies for her doctor visits. I traded cheesecakes as partial payment for childcare. I even made neckties in exchange for dental work (obviously that was when everyone... even dentists... wore ties all the time). For many years I bartered with a newly opened used bookstore... I helped in the store one day a week and in exchange I got to take as many books as I wanted; I just had to return them when I finished reading them. They were happy they could take a day off now and then, and I never lacked for something to read. It was a great way to help a small business with little start-up cash to grow and a way to feed my addiction to reading.

i traded car repairs for an old fridge we were replacing... shop owner lives accross the street from us..

this year he is taking our old oil tank out of the basement (he heats his shop with used motor oil) and we have switched over to a propane system...

that's good for a free year of oil changes, tire rotations & other minor repairs (lightbulbs etc)

I don't think I have seen a response to the question of what happened to you. I am currently in the middle of a barter of $1,000.00 worth of massages for a queen sized quilt. I should only be out backing and maybe not too much of that if I piece the backing some and I am going to use the scraps from the blocks to make a piano key border. I am excited and I had my first massage last Friday and I still feel good. I am really excited about this. Last year I bartered the quilt listed as Tonie's Star Memory Quilt for a new Cal King bedroom set which is beautiful! I like this alot!

You have to make sure you trust the person you are bartering with. I did that kind of thing and the eclectrian added up hours that he had not been working on my house. He was not honest and I called him on it.
