Barter thread

Kevhog1988 · 06-05-2014 1:14pm #1

Just wondering would it be a good idea to have a barter thread set up where people can barter there surplus for something someone else may have to swap??

schtinggg · 06-05-2014 1:54pm

The oul tax-man would hang your family jewels if he found you discussing such a subversive topic as barter- excellent idea nonetheless.

Kevhog1988 · 06-05-2014 2:45pm

if no money changes hand there is no income…. it is simply trading a worthless item you have for a item of you value of somebody else's.

Fries-With-That · 06-05-2014 3:29pm

I'd be interested in something like this, have lots of stuff hanging around that people might want/need.

Tabnabs · 06-05-2014 4:36pm

[mod] Go with it lads, if there's more demand we'll look at how to expand it and if not, we'll leave it as it is. Just no illegal items and try to keep it relevant to this forum (no playstations or 02 Octavias ). Items are for barter only in this thread.[/mod]

Kevhog1988 · 06-05-2014 4:53pm

i have lots of stuff that may be of use… Maybe we could introduce a template for it??

it would keep it relevant all the time.

Tabnabs · 06-05-2014 4:55pm

How about:

<insert picture>

<insert description>

<insert what you'd like to barter for>

Does that work?

Sounds good to me, can you offer something to barter for W.H.Y.

Tabnabs · 07-05-2014 8:57am

Yes, don't see why not.

thehippychippy · 07-05-2014 10:01am

Brill, this sounds like a good idea.

Sure… You could barter work for food

isaac azimov · 08-05-2014 11:45pm

Lets get things started does anyone have a wind up radio, i had plenty of stuff to trade.:D

stooge · 12-05-2014 9:51am

I have a load of cardboard. Had intended to use it for some purpose but at the moment its lying in the garage taking up space.

Range from large boxes that used to hold flat packed beds, to flat sheets that were part of wooden floor packaging.

Might be good for someone looking to line a hen house or use for burning (they are dry) or some other innovative use.

Willing to listen for swaps for anything really, maybe potted veg or fruit if anyone has spares?

Kevhog1988 · 12-05-2014 1:56pm

Would there be a trailer load mate??

Kevhog1988 · 12-05-2014 6:18pm

I have some 20l water carriers if anyone is interested. Brand new. Will swap for items of similar interest or any hunting/fishing gear.

Kevhog1988 · 12-05-2014 8:11pm

This is a link to the add i have

Linking to an advert looking to sell items is not in the spirit of barter thread. Photos are fine, a price tag is not!

What have you got?

kevc2 · 14-05-2014 10:52am

30l fermenter with tap on it, originally from coopers kit. 5 Gallon glass carboy. About 48-50 grolsh swingtop glass bottles. A 40 pint beer kit and a 30 bottle wine kit. Corks, corker, hydrometer, some wine bottles and a couple of other little bits.

Khannie · 14-05-2014 2:40pm

I'm interested in the grolsch bottles. I might be able to get raised planters. I'll check tonight. Failing that, would you consider a swap for some home brew? Say 10 litres of cider? (it's very tasty stuff, even if I do say so myself

).

ABV is around 5.5%. It's in 2L PET bottles and already conditioned. Not too dry, not too sweet (less sweet than commercial cider).

stooge · 14-05-2014 3:56pm

Photos of cardboard as promised:

Have a large roll of good condition carpet suitable for fitting out a second house/outbuilding/garage etc

Also a set of patio doors (slight damage to one door leaf due to wind) willing to acept any reasonable offer of trade:

This I find very interesting. We love eggs at home. We
What can I give you in return for some eggs I wonder...At the very least I could dig a hole for you or help with some DIY. I can help you build a barn Amish style :pac:

We would love to have even one chicken in the garden but fear the neighbours would complain since it is in the city.

Definitely would love an opportunity to get fresh milk or eggs from the countryside. At the moment we use a tray of 20 eggs per week, cheap enough costing 2 euro . Cheap and cheerful but you cant beat the organic eggs for taste.

SF, any interest in a NiteIze glasses case? It's the medium one. I bought it and while my glasses fit in, sun glasses won't. Works grand with normal specs.

Recondite49 · 23-06-2014 2:07pm

I have an unopened five kilo bag of Perlite, which as I'm sure you all know is very useful for growing food/herbs etc. hydroponically.

Also have solar/clockwork powered shortwave radio. Very useful post collapse and in as new condition. I am offering it up for trade as I'm buying a two way radio at end of month.

Open to all sensible offers. Buyer must be able to collect from Cork City. I can meet you in a public place.

thehippychippy · 23-06-2014 11:45pm

I have a lot of 50g round and 100g rectangular tobacco tins. Empty tins that is. If anyone is interested let me know. Doesn't have to be a barter really, I just hate through in stuff like that out.

Fries-With-That · 24-06-2014 9:41am

D.I.Y. Wind Turbine Motor,

I have a motor that someone could use to make a wind turbine.

It would be ideal for someone to practice their build skills with.

Similar to this.

Well tbh very little at the moment apart from some hunting gear and some homemade equipment that wouldn't really be too appealing.
Anything in particular you're after?
