Bartering Finds Plan

topic posted Sat, January 26, 2008 - 12:15 AM by  mark
I got an idea. We look up manufacturers of cool stuff and then go on craig’s list for that area and place a want/barter ad, telling people what you want and where they can go dumpster diving to maybe find it. For example, I can get about as much soap as anyone might want. I imagine others could find similar situations, and use the stuff to barter for stuff they don’t have access to. How to word the ad might be tricky, but I don’t think there would be any legal issues. It seems like big manufacturers usually have fenced-in lots, so smaller manufacturers might be the better search. Your thoughts?

    “Burt’s Bees” manufactures moisturizers like lip balm and shampoo and stuff with bees wax in it. They are in Durham NC. Anyone here live near there? Hint, hint.

      i just joined this site and live in durham.......is this fate or what? lol.

      i could try for the Bee's.....we also have Performance Bike, but a local screwed that up and they lock stuff up now. they used to let people rummage for parts, lots of parts. teh same guy kept going bck and then selling what he got. he also left it messy, what a world we have.

      i never thought about dumpster diving, what a concept!!!
