Barter Made Easy

Posted on May 4, 2012 by KellyPowell

Barter made easy! You are doubtful, I know but hear me out!! TradeAway has a technology called The Multi-Way Exchange that is absolutely fabulous!

Hmmmm...how is this going to work?

When most people think of barter they think – I have what you want and you have what I want and there we have it a is trade made…which we all know happens but isn’t normally as easy as that because of the almighty dollar value of our items. This is why our Multi-Way technology is so great. This is how it works.

Log on to TradeAway and make offers on as many things as you would like. That doesn’t mean you will get them all so don’t be afraid to offer! At that point you are automatically entered in to our Multi-Way Exchange. Our system then pairs you up with others who have made offers on other things until we get a whole line up of people to make a Multi-Way Exchange. There could be anywhere from 2 to 16 or more people involved in the exchange. Everyone gets what they want!

Now, not everyone’s item is the same value, right? Guess what? That is no problem because our system also figures out the money part of it. Some people will owe nothing and others will have a little bit of cash coming their way to balance out the deal. Everyone is happy, everyone gets what their item is worth and everyone gets what they want!

So, bottom line is….Make offers! The more offers you make, the more likely you are to get involved in a Multi-Way Exchange and get something you really want or need!

Don’t hesitate to let us know if you would like more information on our Mutli-Way Exchange platform. We would love to hear from you!

This Hot Rod Roadster is a Sports Car that your wife could actually/really truly drive and have fun in… as compared to most home-built hot rod’s that are uncomfortable, they rattle, they leak, they have a very stiff-ride, they make too much noise… and are always sitting on the side of the road in need of a repair. Most Hot Rod Owners rarely drive their cars because these machines are very “temper-mental”… – This Sports Car is the opposite of is situation… this car is: Clean, Safe, Powerful, Comfortable, boasting most all the comforts of a normal car, thus, it is very USEABLE !

Making Money with the Barter System

Posted on March 30, 2012 by KellyPowell

The other day I read a great blog article that someone wrote about how he “makes money using the barter system”. It made me think and boy is he right! Not that I didn’t know that already but I have never really thought of it quite like he did.

Here is the bottom line - When you barter with what you have for what you need  and do not pay cash out of your pocket, that there my friends is how you make money using the barter system. It is really as simple as that.

Let me give you a quick example of something TradeAway has on their site right now. Someone has Real Estate they wish to trade for a motorcycle. He is looking for a really nice motorcycle so this could potentially work out to an even trade, if not that’s OK too. Just a few details will need to be worked out. Anyway, currently we have five (5) motorcycles listed in the past week and a half…we just may be able to work out a deal here.

For more information on the motorcyles listed check out Motor World on TradeAway to  see what there is. Trust me, there are some nice ones you don’t want to miss out on!

Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster with 5,469 LOW Org.

BIKE IS ONE OF A KIND AND COST MORE THAN $35000 TO BUILD. RUNS,LOOKS AND SOUND GREAT, HEAD TURNER AND CENTER OF ATTENTION ANYWHERE. WELL MAINT., AND GREAT RIDE.

All parts are top of the line, 402 cubic inch twin turbo LS motor, Mendeola HD4 transmission, no expense spared. To build this car brand new would cost $125,000+.

Airstream Trailers on TradeAway.com!

Posted on February 10, 2012 by JennWheaton

I have a weakness for retro thingies.  You might have remembered this about my past post about wanting a cool, old-looking phone.  I still haven’t bartered for one yet.  And I am still looking for one (wink, wink).  When I think of the ultimate retro vehicle, nothing could affect me more than an Airstream trailer. There is something majestic about the shine that radiates off its smooth blimp-like body.  The wind currents eddy off of it’s curves as it strolls down Route 66 like a vintage scarf wrapped around a starlet’s porcelain face.  Ok…so I may have daydreamed about this a little. Who hasn’t?

Here are 5 good reasons why you should consider bartering for an Airstream trailer on TradeAway:

1.  There’s one for barter on TradeAway right now!  Make an offer.

2.  You’ve amassed a huge collection of Keds, capris and scarves.  Solution= instant fashion for your Airstream trailer getaway!

3.  The Airstreams are so shiny you can literally see yourself in them.  Their shiny metallic brilliance lights up everything around them. Like Lil Jon’s teeth.

4.  You travel in style.  There are even Airstream travel Clubs that roll out to the beach, canyons anyplace with a hook-up and a view.  Don’t believe me, believe this link. I got it from Wikipedia.  BOOM!

5.  You finally have a valid excuse to wear your cabana wear. Yep…just like Mr. Howell from Gilligan’s island.  “Lovie…”

Watch a cool video of How Stuff Works, Airstream style…

Tips to protect yourself on TradeAway

Posted on February 10, 2012 by KellyPowell

Never give out Credit Card information via email or Trade Mail. We have
provided links to paypal near the bottom of this email.
Use Escrow where appropriate, for example when a title is involved
Do not assume that any cashier check or money order is valid.
WE SUGGEST USING PAYPAL to accept and make payments
Be Leary If:
If the offer is for more than you were asking on the item
If it sounds strange be careful
If it is listed at way below the market value
If they want it shipped overseas
If the offer sounds too good
If they want you to send them change or the difference
If payment is to a third party
https://cms.paypal.com/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=s
ecurity/seller_protection#
https://personal.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=marke

https://personal.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&cont
ent_ID=marketing_us/request_money
It is a good idea to use TradeMail when talking about your potential trade
versus giving out your personal email, phone and only give your address
when ready to ship item. Bottom line is that you should use every measure
to protect your personal information. As always, if you have any questions
please ask and we will do our best to answer your questions.

Have camera…will barter!

Posted on January 31, 2012 by JennWheaton

As I searched through the many new listings on TradeAway.com, I came across this one that really stuck out. In a good way too…not “sticking out” like buck teeth or a sharp stick.

This clever TradeAway user created an ad to barter his travel/event photography skills for lodging. He’s booking a trip for summer 2012. Here’s his pitch…

“I am looking to fill in the rest of my schedule with work along the way in exchange for money ($225.00 per hour) OR housing or other travel expenses covered such as food, gas, car rental and attraction tickets. Have camera, will travel!!!! Can provide links to recent photography work and / or references. Thanks for reading!”

Interested in bartering your college futon for some photography? Starting in June and ending in August, he’s hitting all of these spots…

Wisconsin; Chicago, IL; Northern Indiana; West Viginia; Virgina; Washington D.C, Savannah, GA; and ending in Orlando, Florida in August 2012.

 

This is what creative bartering is all about. And this guy gets it.

Make an offer on this ad today!

Barter helps develop good habits.

Posted on January 6, 2012 by JennWheaton

I read a lot.  Especially about barter.  When I browse the inter-webs looking for articles, I usually reference the date that the article was written.  I try to stick with the most recent ones with relevant information.  This morning I found one that was written way back in 2006.  And I loved what it had to say.  Especially this little bit…Barter what you have to get what you want!

“Barter helps establish a life long great habit – always think about what you don’t need before you get new things. This could save you a lot of money in the long run.”

It’s the quote in bold that resonated strongest with me. “…always think about what you don’t need before you get new things.” This has become my new mantra. It’s so simple and so easy. It only requires self-discipline. And for most of us, that ain’t so easy.  But, we can all try. And there’s a 100% effort in trying.

For 2012, let’s make this an amazing year! A year where we think twice before spending money for things that we don’t need. And for the things we’ve already spent the money on and will never use, let’s barter them for what we want!

*High Fives!

The quote above came from this article. Click here to read it.
