"A barter exchange - for those who haven't used one - combines the functions of classified advertising and a bank. Customers sign up to sell anything from drywall to dentistry, the exchnage compiles the listings in a directory, and buyers contact sellers directly or through a broker employed by the exchange."

Good Housekeeping
"Small business owners tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of barter because they can trade goods based on their own wholesale cost."

Kiplinger's
"The key to successfull bartering is know how to use the system. Learn to be flexible in your buying habits. Give your trade broker time to find what you want, and be willing to help by giving referrals."
