Batering Your Service and Surplus for Your Needs
Posted by Mr. Cheng with (348) Comments
Most homeless people are lack of cash and may have some surplus items in storage but in need of many things, like subway pass, food, shower, sleeping bag, sneaker... etc. And bartering seems to be one good solution, according to James Ramsey, The Homeless Guy in New York City
Hi there,
Just to let you know something to help you in case you have no money to buy whatever you need.
You can BARTER.
What is BARTER, or BARTERING?
A Definition of Barter
the direct exchange of goods or services--without an intervening medium of exchange or money--either according to established rates of exchange or by bargaining. Barter is common among nonliterate societies, particularly in those communities with some developed form of market. Goods may be bartered within a group as well as between groups, although gift exchange probably accounts for most intragroup trade, particularly in small and relatively simple societies.
Since I am homeless and at times without cash, I advertise either in my Barter Group, or in the Craiglist(NYC) Barter Section.
It saves stress and you will see that money is not always needed!!! You can barter food, clothes, a shower, or anything you have need.
Thanks,
James Ramsay
James doing cleaning services before he was evicted from the previous place when he was unable to keep up the rent. With bartering, he was able to exchange his cleaning services to obtain hundreds of flyers designed and printed for him so that he could circulate to obtain more paid cleaning jobs.
I used to barter my lawn services to an old couple in exchange for a furnished room when I was at college and did tutoring at school to make some cash for living. I also bartered my lawn service to a millionaire in exchange for the opportunity to eat and go out with the wealthy old lady, and therefore, I eyewitnessed how millionaires do and learned to be successful later.
