I just grabbed some eggs out of the coop this morning. Packing up a six pack for a customer now. I barter eggs and some labor for cash, which i trade in for gold or silver coins once per month (averaging my gold)
I will also barter some work on my friend's boat in exchange for a day of fishing out at sea. Of course it takes some accumulation of my labor but when i help him solve engine or hydraulics problems he's so happy he pays for the fishing trip a week or two out.
I'm not good at marketing. If i were, i think i could subcontract most jobs instead of doing them myself.
They can't control barter.
Bingo

Pretty good stuff though. You are ahead in this and hopefully will inspire many more.
