Trading Can Save You Money

By its very nature, barter requires no money. Not only can you exchange an item that you have for something you want, but you can acquire something you need without paying cash.

Trading can save you money by immediately lowering your transaction costs. When you sell an item you can suffer a significant discount below its actual replacement value. When you trade, each trading partner has determined that there will be a fair exchange. By your own reckoning, you will receive something that is of equal value to the item you had. Moreover, in certain cases, trading can have significant tax advantages to buying and selling.

In the long term, by recycling you avoid the cost of constantly adding to what you have. Not only is it wasteful to accumulate unused items, it is expensive.

Trading is Green
To trade is to conserve resources. By trading, the expenditure of resources on the manufacture and distribution of new things is concomitantly reduced. A global market for barter represents the ultimate application of the environmental admonition to eliminate waste and save our planet.
