Barter Clubs

    Hi, I heard of Barter clubs whereby people can trade credits for work done instead of cash.

    Example - if I am a mechanic, and you need your car fixed, because you are also in this club, you can pay me with credits instead of cash.

    Now you may be a doctor or solicitor, and if I go to you, I will pay you with credits I have accumulated from jobs I have done for other club members.


    I dont know much more about these clubs, but would be very interested in finding out - especially about the club based in Galway

    Thanks

    Strange one. So how would they get points in the first place? Im sure more popular professions would end up having a huge build up of points that they wouldnt ever use in turn making the work they've done free of charge from their point of view.

    Cant see any way that it could work. Is this not why money was invented?

    I've heard of this.. it's been brought up recently in the Sligo forum.

    But it's not specifically a Bargain Alert.

    I'll close it for the time being and will think about a suitable forum to move it to. Feel free to pop me a PM if you've any thoughts on where it may belong.
