The Power of Bartering Over the Internet

Have you ever heard the story about Kyle, a guy who traded a red paperclip for a house?

He started with a red paperclip and traded it for bigger and better things until he wound up with a house. You may have heard about him already. Even though he knew it was a silly idea, it kinda turned out to be a big deal. So big that the red paperclip has become his de-facto symbol.

He drew a media frenzy when, in a matter of one year and 14 trades, he bartered his way from a paper clip to a house [source: NPR]. Although he had a lot of help from his local government and some people in show business, his story offers dramatic evidence of today's existing market for bartering. Kyle is one of many people who have taken advantage of the growing phenomenon of bartering over the Internet.

BARTER..uso na naman ngayon!

"Ang barter ay iSang uRi nG pkiKIpAg kAlakalAn kuNg saan proDukto sa pRoduKto ang pAlitan at hinDi diTo kInakAilanGan nG salApi."

Sa tutoo lang, hindi naman talaga nawala o nalaos ang barter. Lalo pa ngang lumawak ang kalakalan na umiikot sa barter. Ng maglaon ay nauso na kasi ang pera, kumpara noong araw na maaari mong ipapalit ang tanim mong gulay sa manok ng kapitbahay etc.

Isipin mo nga naman, paano mo ipambabayad o ipapapalit sa Mall ang iphone, ipad, laptop, Louis Vuitton, Rolex atbp. na ang dala dala mo pambili o pang barter ay gulay, manok o kalabaw!

Pero iba na ang panahon ngayon..moderno at hi-tech na Madali ka na makipag-swap, exchange deal o makipag barter sa pamamagitan ng internet o sa ngayo'y tinatawag na cyber bartering. Kaya't madali ng makipagpalitan o maibenta ang mga sobrang produkto, "cashless" pa. Kaya ang barter? Uso na naman!

A FEW TIPS ON BARTERING

Thanks to Jaymi Heimbuch.. 

A few tips on bartering online:
  • Review How Bartering Works: Get to know all the pros and cons of bartering so you're aware of what to expect.
  • Be detailed: Get specific about what it is you're looking for and what it is you have to offer so that you're not pinging interested people for days only to find out it's not a good trade.
  • Consider the value of the trade: What's the market value of what you have to offer or what you're seeking if it were being sold for money. You'll want the trade to even out. And on the flip side, what is the value to you? If it feels like you're making a great trade—even if the monetary values don't align—then it's probably still a fair trade.
  • Don't get stuck on things: Experiences can also be traded. If you're looking to go on vacation, see if the cute little hotel would like your creative writing skills to spruce up their advertising literature. Think about bartering as the primary solution to your needs, not as an alternative, and it'll let loose the possibilities.
  • Be Aware: While bartering brings back the feelings of connection and trust with other people that can get lost when only cash talks, there's definitely the possibility you could get a raw deal. Be aware about the terms of the trade.

PROMOTING BUSINESS THRU BARTER

CYBER Bartering


I can't help but share this topic on cyber bartering...

Bartering future runs along side the development of internet-based technology and rapid globalization. The internet portal has catapulted the once primitive barter system into a global form of trade, which has been increasingly viewed as the “massive barter economy.”

Internet based barter sites have allowed not only individuals, but also businesses and organizations, to connect on a global scale, breaking down any previous boundaries that may have prevented trade. This new form of internet or “cyber” bartering is more developed than the traditional bartering system, as it does provide for a commonly accepted unit of account or “trade credit.” 

Trade credits hold the future to global bartering, as they help to eliminate the necessity for smaller international businesses to produce the otherwise most commonly accepted method of payment for goods and services.."money". 

It has been argued by the growing global barter community, that future advances in technology will enable the current "monetary system", to be replaced with an advanced bartering system.

EX-DEAL?....BARTER na ang uso! BARTER what you have and get what you need.

Kahapon may kaibigan akong tumawag at nagtanong tungkol sa Barter. May parlor si Sally at sa construction naman ang asawa niya. Maraming sobrang semento, bakal, kahoy na nasasayang kaya't nakikipag "ex-deal" sila sa mga kakilala, mga limang taon na din daw nilang ginagawa ang ex-deal. Sa parlor naman tinatapon na lang ni Sally ang mga natitirang gamot at pag patay na oras ang mga tao niya ay nag fe facebook na lang kaya't tinanggal na niya ang computer sa parlor.

Ito din ang kadalasang nagiging problema ng ibang negosyante. Maraming tapon, sobra, tira, nasisira--kaya sa isang negosyante, kumbaga nakakaiyak at malaking kawalan ang kahit isang piraso ng masayang na paninda o produkto. Kaya nga ba nakikipag ex-deal para masolusyunan ang problemang ito.

Pero paano kapag ayaw mo ang "ipapalit"? Tulad ni Sally, mahilig siya sa spa, travel, gym, shopping, alam mo na, tipikal na babae, at kadalasang ipinapalit sa construction materials ng asawa niya..ilaw, pako, kable, panambak.."anu ba yun!!" ito ang mga kataga ni Sally.

Dito pumapasok ang sistema ng BEX. Ang Barter Philippines na nagpapakilala ng kakaiba at makabagong sistema ng barter, ex-deal o palitan. Maraming miyembro ( walang membership fee ) na pwedeng makipagpalitan sa isa't-isa na hindi limitado o iisa lang ang pwedeng ka barter o ka ex-deal.



Kaya ang dating problema ni Sally, ang mga construction materials at serbisyo/gamot sa parlor niya ay pwede na i-barter o ipalit sa spa, travel, gym, shopping sa iba't-ibang miyembro ng BEX.

KAHULUGAN NG BARTER SA FILIPINO

Para sa ating dagdag kaalaman...Mula sa Filipino na Wikipedia..

Ang barter ay ang palitan ng paninda na hindi ginagamit ng pera o salapi. Karaniwang ang bagay na kinakalakal o pinagpapalitan ay kasinghalaga ng halaga sa salapi, subalit walang ginagamit o walang pagpapalitan o suklian ng perang nagaganap, mga bagay lamang. Samakatuwid, palitan lamang ito ng kalakal o palitan ng paninda

USING ONLINE SERVICES FOR BARTERING

Being amazed on barter, most of my friends nowadays are busy helping me - making time to browse online and grab or share some topics about barter.  There is this one topic on barter, too bad my friend doesn't know how to share the link!  Here it goes..

USING ONLINE SERVICES FOR BARTERING
With the current popularity of barter exchanges and the constant development of the internet, many websites are now offering services bartering related to the online public. There are many benefits to using online services bartering, for both businesses and consumers. The internet brings a wider range of product offerings, as there are no distance limitations to those who choose to advertise their services.
Those who want to take advantage of services bartering goods on the internet simply need to sign up for the trade exchange websites. In some cases, there may be a sign up fee involved or a commission paid to the exchange company for each transaction. Once a means of payment is provided, usually the user can start to take advantage of the service.
When the account has been set up and verified, then trading can commence. They can begin to search through ads from others using services bartering or they can place their own ad for goods or services they want to offer in trade. Interested users can contact each other through the service and make offers and counteroffers for things that they have in their bartering inventory.
When using services bartering, it is imperative that you follow the rules that are laid out by the exchange group. Failure to adhere to policies or to follow through on agreed upon trades will likely result in your removal from the group. Online services bartering are a great way to find goods and services without paying out of pocket for them.

BARTER??

Anu ba ang "barter"? Sanay na tayo sa sagot na palitan!, swap!, exchange deal!
oo nga, palitan, mula pa ng sinaunang panahon pina praktis na ang ganitong sistema. Palit ang manok sa gulay..palit ang damit sa gamit...pero "one-on-one" o kaya ay direktang "barter" yun.

Sa tradisyunal na palitan, lalo na't "one-on-one", palit mo ang cellphone mo sa wallet ko. eh, paano naman pag ayoko ng wallet mo??? Sigurado, walang "barter" na mangyayari.

Sa ngayon iba na ang "barter". Mas malawak na at makakapili ka ng gusto o kailangan mo talaga. Ito ang ginagawa ng BEX Barter EXchange Philippines. (OO! Meron na sa Pinas ng Barter!) Maraming miyembro mga lehitimong negosyante o entrepinoy mula sa iba't-ibang industriya. Depende sa negosyo, mayroong P25,000 hanggang P250,000 panimula na tinatawag nilang "credit/barter/trade money/points" na itatakda sa bawat miyembro.

Ganito ang sistema ng Barter Philippines:

1. Ang negosyo "A" ay makikipag "barter" o bibili kay negosyo "B".

2. Gagamitin ng negosyo "B" ang "credit/barter/trade money/points" na nakatalaga sa kanya, MABABAWASAN ang "credit/barter/trade money/points" sa halagang iba "barter" o pambibili niya kay negosyo "A".

3. Ang negosyo "A" naman ay HINDI kinakailangan na palitan kay negosyo "B" ang binili sa kanya at malayang mkipg "barter" o bumili kahit na ibang miyembro. Bukod doon ay masaya si negosyo "A" dahil NADAGDAGAN ang "credit/barter/trade money/points" niya dahil kay negosyo "B".

4. Ang negosyo "B" naman ay kinakailangan na may makipag "barter" o bumili sa kanya upang madagdagan na naman ang "credit/barter/trade money/points" niya muli.

BARTER..NOW IN THE PHILIPPINES

http://www.bexbartercard.com

How huge the barter industry today is.....

My good friend emailed me yesterday. I guess being so curious about barter made him research online and here's what he got..how huge the industry of barter is..


In the United States barter is a $6 billion industry. The majority of this business is done through local area barter exchanges scattered throughout the country.

Barter allows businesses to buy the goods and services they need - without spending cash. In a barter exchange the business members buy what they need and pay for it with what they have. The barter exchange is the third-party record keeper. The exchange helps the transactions to happen and creates a currency system so that trades do not have to be direct or one-to-one.

Bartering allows a business to make purchases it would otherwise not have been able to make if the business had to spend cash. If your company has excess inventory, extra time, space or services, barter is an excellent way to move those goods or services. Barter brings new customers and additional income that can be spent with other barter members to conserve cash.

A Barter Exchange serves as third-party record keeper - like a bank. Barter exchanges use a currency called barter or trade dollars. Businesses buy and sell in the network using barter or trade dollars.
