I never quite understood the advantage of Bartercard.

They were in it where I used to work and it seemed to me that instead of your customers paying you cold hard cash that you could spend anywhere, you got paid with "points" that you could only spend at other Bartercard members.

It might have changed since or maybe I just never understood it properly.

A florist wants a new boiler in his shop he does not want to pay with money so we find a plumber who does it we pick up the tab giving the plumber say for example 800 'barter pounds or points' and charge a percentage on the transaction the florist then pays for this with his commodity i.e flowers so now the plumber wants to buy some new tools he now has 800 points to buy tools from a tool smith who is in bartercard. now lets say a few weeks later a weddings arrangement company is looking for some flowers we then now get the flowers from the florist and match it will the weddings company thus saving the florist money because some of them flowers he has cultivated thus cost him less or is redundant stock or he has to much stock.

In short it frees up cash flow for business, not for EVERYTHING but we have thousands of businesses of all trades in the catalogue and more are added everyday.

Its taking bartering from its pure and original form before money and moving it into the 21st century market

You social revolutionary you ;)

 

[Mad Cyril]

Out of interest how many barter points would I get for three tons of mixed hardcore?

 

[Berrichonne shrimper]

If its swedish anal then you would get double points.

That's what I thought, sounds like socialism to me or some sort of commune. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we witnessed TB go through a hippy guru phase where he encourages us to 'take what we need and just give what we can, man'.

I noticed he also used a florist example which suggests to me the daisy age is well and truly upon us.

Peace.

so a bit like nicking something at work for someone in return for them doing work on your house, charging only cash for the materials? :)

if so why do you need a company to broker these deals? genuine question

Well you need to match the two company's together so they can trade we need to make sure that the bartering is at a fair rate for both parties

 

[Hotman]

surely that's done by the threat of a slap if the works not up to standard?

This could work with SUFC. Martin pays the players in barter points, which they swap for alcohol in the local night clubs. The local night clubs get advertising around the stadium which they pay for with barter points.

Well done, glad to see the job has gone to an English man rather than a foreigner.

Bigot. Oops.....is somebody reading this? ;)
