Hello All,
I am part of a barter group here in Ontario Canada. The concept is called a LETS( local economic trade system). We call ours the Saugeen Trading Community. You can google it and see what our mission statement, etc looks like. This group has been running for almost 40 years and we( hubby and I) have been a part of it for over 20. There are a lot of different barter systems out there. Most fail. The new ones are all online and it appears you give money to one source and they take care of the administration side of things. With our group, we have volunteers that we call the " core group" who get elected. They take care of all the administration. They are compensated a small amount in our currency "Saubucks" but it is mostly volunteer. We have market days 3 times per year and you can trade any other time as well. Happy to answer questions if anyone has them.
