Bring back bartering

My grandparents tuned in regularly to a radio segment called "The Swap Shop". For 15 minutes every day, people called in to offer something they had -for free or less than $20 or they called in to ask for items they needed.

It was the old-fashioned bartering system upgraded to the modern 20th century. With little or no money, you could get the products or services you needed in exchange for something you could offer up.

I love bartering. I wish there was more of it in the world today. While money is often tight, services and talents are often plentiful and available. How nice it would be to trade my time and talents for something I need.

On network television Monday morning, a segment was devoted to several websites where people were doing just that-bartering for what they needed.
