Your moneys no good here!

Not just a catchy slogan....Its how the world did business for centuries.

Long before money was the route of all evil and the main method or getting things that you needed, people around the globe simply bartered and traded for things, using their skills, gold, silver, precious stones, livestock and even people as a form of currency to get what they wanted.

In US history the pilgrims traded with the Indians for food. (lets not mention the rest of that story). The Romans had it down to a fine art, they traded there advanced skills and technological knowledge for things they wanted from many countries around the world, such as silver from Britain, silks from China, cotton from Egypt and even exotic wild animals from Africa.

So the concept is nothing new, but it has been all but been forgotten over the centuries as money has became the be all and end all of world commerce. But times are changing and the world is in an economic slump, we all feel it, now simply buying what you want is not that simple for many people.
Two things are true, even in times like this.. 1. Everyone have some kind of skill. 2. Everyone has items / junk they dont want anymore.

Ever heard the expression One mans trash is another mans treasure?
