My idea of bartering is swapping one goods or service for another persons goods or service. For example, say I want your cow but can not pay you. I offer to make you a quilt for your cow, you agree. That is what I think of when I think of bartering. The trade is agreed upon IN ADVANCE and carried out. But not always at the same time. Like I will make you a quilt for Christmas if you rototill my garden this spring.

Bartering is trading goods and/or services without money or middleman. An example would be I offer to piece a top for you and ask you to quilt my quilt for me. You might accept the deal or you could counter-offer. No deal until both of us agree.
