What is an exchange group?
Barter is a club of people who connect to exchange goods or services. There are many types of exchange groups. One-to-One Barter Group is working on the Single Exchange system in which people exchange one good or service directly directly.
in the "Special Money" group, members provide goods or services in exchange for artificial dollars. This money can later be used to "purchase" services from other members of the group. Usually this type of exchange group works well only if there is an organizer to monitor the exchange.
All types of things can be replaced within the limits of the exchange group, from old clothes and toys that are still in good shape, to fuel and homemade crafts. Services such as tutoring, babysitting, home repairs and even food preparation are also very popular in the exchange group. In general, anything you can do or own can be dyed if there is demand for it. Exchange is a great way to access goodsfor services that you could not afford otherwise.
The first step when starting the exchange group is to find members. The basic club can be organized among neighbors as a way to save money and strengthen community bonds. The One-On-One system is easily set up by creating a list of all members and goods or services available to the exchange. The list can then be a photocopic or sent to all members as a link. With the help of a coordinator it is possible to set up a regional exchange group, where the coordinator acts as a contact person or middle man, keeps files and organizes meetings for real stores.
Another way to set up the Barter Group is to organize a monthly thematic meeting-winter clothing, pomines, toys-on which members can exchange objects directly. Groups of Internet exchange prices also become popular. Can be either open visitorCams, drought as a Craigslist or private groups Yahoo or MSN can only be connected using an invitation.
To guarantee the departure of any group of exchange groups, it is important to create a set of rules and agree on what the "fair trade" represents in advance. This can be done orally or through a written agreement. If the club has a coordinator, it can be in charge of exchanges and ensure that both parties provide promised goods or services.
