Let’s Make a Deal: Barter in a No-Cash Economy

Let’s Make a Deal: Barter in a No-Cash Economy: “Since that first fateful transaction in April, Mr. Bollinger has traded his soap for things like soapmaking equipment and the design of the logo, packaging and Web features for his fledgling company, Dirt Bag Soap. (His motto: Don’t Be a Dirt Bag.) The company is now up and running, and Mr. Bollinger says he has plans to leave accounting for full-time soapmaking. More than three-quarters of his start-up costs were covered by bartering, he said, and the transactions were almost always easygoing.” From NYTimes.com (free registration required).
