A Virtual Barter Fair?

Bartering is a great way to recycle stuff. But I see a few shortcomings on the way we do it here. People can post an item or two here in the Barter Forum, but it is mixed in with other postings…Continue

Roof shake removal tool
I used this tool for removing the cedar shakes from my roof last year, and it made the job a lot easier.The teeth on the heel made pulling any remaining staples a snap (and there will be plenty of…Continue

Jim Gagnon replied to Elizabeth Halfacre's discussion scrap wood
"Always interested in tools. Could use a another garden fork. What tools do you have? I could cut the wood for you to fit in your trash. "
Jim Gagnon replied to Elizabeth Halfacre's discussion scrap wood
"I wouldn't burn treated wood. I don't think you can put in the city yard waste bins, either."
Jim Gagnon replied to Elizabeth Halfacre's discussion scrap wood
"What kind of scraps? Size? Cut how? What do you have to trade in return?

"Patti, You could post your items now on the Barter Forum. But if most people are like me, they don't go there much because there isn't much there currently.
If you like, send me your items and we can have a joint sheet to try…"

"Susan, the problem I see with letting anyone make changes is it could be messed up by someone not knowing what they are doing. The administrator could keep a mailing list of the people with items on that list (or anyone who wants to be on the…"

Susan Gregory replied to Jim Gagnon's discussion A Virtual Barter Fair?
"Seems like this would be worth a try- just have to figure out how to keep the list updated and fresh, and to let people know when new stuff has been added. I guess it would be like a mini freecycle. Can the spreadsheet be updated by anyone, or only…"

"Joann, I see this as working in parallel with the October fair. Some things can't wait for October. It may reduce the turnout in October somewhat by keeping some folks home whose primary purpose is trading rather than social…"
Joann Kerr replied to Jim Gagnon's discussion A Virtual Barter Fair?
"This sounds like a good idea on some levels. As you stated, someone (or two) are going to have to keep it updated - are you interested in being one of those people? I would also add though that the other reason for doing barter face-to-face is the…"

A Virtual Barter Fair?
Bartering is a great way to recycle stuff. But I see a few shortcomings on the way we do it here. People can post an item or two here in the Barter Forum, but it is mixed in with other postings about barter fairs, etc. If they have a whole bunch of stuff, it gets buried in the posting itself and people would have to read the whole post, not just the title.Barter fairs are limited to who can show up at the date and time, and by what they are willing to drag to the fair site.What I propose is a…See More
