Take that treadmill in your bedroom that you purchased with good intentions, but now use for a very expensive clothes rack, and trade it for something your really want, like a gym membership, or some new clothes.
Remember the beautiful dishes you got for a wedding present that were totally not your style? Now the box of brand new dishes sits in a box in the cupboard. Trade those for a nice dinner out, a haircut, a collection of books…
The wedding ring you no longer wear…because you got a divorce…trade it for that vacation to where you’ve been wanting to go but never had.
The video games your 13 yr old has beat over and over and never picks up now because “that’s lame” can be turned into $50 in trade for something else he wants, like a new game.
Are you the lucky one who inherited Grandpas record collection? Do you even have a record player? Why you’re stuck with these old albums no one knows. Offer them up on NuBarter and give a tax deductible donation in Grandpa’s name to a non-profit member of NuBarter.
Unexpected litter of puppies? Offer them on NuBarter to an approved home and accept trade dollars for the rehoming fee.
What in the world did he drag home now? Another fishing rod? More tackle? Clean out the storage shed to make room. Sell a pre-owned rod and reel on NuBarter. Use your trade dollars for something you’ve been wanting…some name brand body treatment lotion and a subscription to your favorite magazine…maybe even a fishing magazine for him.
Ready for a different look? Changing furniture or appliances? Other NuBarter members are probably looking for what you have and would love to trade. Sell your living room set on NuBarter and use your trade dollars for a lovely framed art piece for above the mantle.
Moving to the city? No longer need the shovels and rakes? Other NuBarter members are ready to buy your pre-owned lawn tools and equipment.
Maybe you don’t own a business right now but you’ve always wanted to start one. Talk to NuBarter about intrest free business financing.

All In A Week's Work
My job is to get people/businesses something they want for something they have. This week I helped with over $20,000 in trades of goods and services. Hotels purchased waste recepticals. Retailers booked travel accommodations. Restaurants gave incentives to their staff. Maintenance companies paid for payroll and accounting services. Fashion retailers purchased wholesale products for resale. This and a lot more took place because of barter.
Each week I reflect on my work and try to pick out a good "chain of trades" that I can be proud of. Although each transaction is done in bank-like, realtime, online dollar for dollar trades and not direct product for product, it is still amazing to see the ripple effect of being in a barter organization.
This week my favorite synergistic story is... A retail store owner uses their NuBarter dollars for family counceling as their wedding is in a few weeks and they're blending a family; the family counceling practice purchased human resourse services as they expand their center; the human resource agency purchased office suppies; the office supply company purchased expo space at a tradeshow; the tradeshow company is getting a quote from the cabinet company for his kitchen; the cabinet company is working on a marketing plan they will launch this summer. All the above mentioned trades make over $10,000 in cash saved for these businesses.
In this economy that seems for the most part to be on a downward spiral, NuBarter is happy to say that it's numbers for the first quarter are 64% above the same time last year. New clients are coming into NuBarter daily because they see the positive impact we're having in the business community.
