"I am bewildered that everyone does not Barter, I grew up with it as a way of life.”
James E “Buddy” Hooper 

Why Barter? There are many reasons to Barter, some follows:

Business Owners or Professionals can be absolutely guaranteed additional sales by utilizing Barter

To Barter something you have no use for, for something you do have a use for.
To Barter your excess merchandise or time for something you need.
To enhance your quality of life (the only reason you are in business).
To use as a marketing tool to increase sales, and increase purchasing power.
To move into new markets.

One on one Trade = the exchange of what you have for something you want.
Commerce = interchange of goods or commodities.
Money = a medium of exchange.
Barter Dollar = a medium of exchange used by Barter Systems.

OBM = OrangeBee Money, A medium of exchange used by OrangeBee Private Monetary System.
 
Direct (One-On-One) Trade
Trade, the exchange of what you have for something you want is an age-old concept. For example, I have a garden where I grow many kinds of vegetables. I grow more than I eat. You breed cattle and you have more cattle than you can eat. I trade you my vegetables for your cattle. We traded something we could not use for something we could use.
 
The Principle of Barter
The Principle of Barter is best defined by the following example. I own a jewelry store and I purchase a watch wholesale for $50.00 (a medium of exchange) and sell them retail for $100.00. I need my automobile repaired and it will cost me $100.00. Instead of paying cash, I barter, or trade the watch for the repair, I receive $100.00 in auto repair, but it only costs me the $50.00 I paid for the watch. I saved $50.00 on this transaction, or made $50.00 profit. I also increased my sales.
 
Modern Barter
Commerce has evolved through five stages: (1) primitive Barter "trade"(2) coins (3) paper money (4) checks and credit cards (5) the modern Barter System.
 
The first Barter System in North America was founded by Marvin "Mac" McConnell in 1960 is Studio City California and he is affectionately known as the "grandfather of modern Barter."
 
How does a modern Barter System differ from a one-on-one trade?
A Barter System uses a medium of exchange called the Barter Dollar. A medium of exchange is any article or substance accepted as a measure of value exchangeable for merchandise or service. Each culture, geographical area, etc. establishes its medium of exchange. The United States uses the U.S. Dollar, Japan the Yen, Mexico the Peso, a Barter System the Barter Dollar. Each medium of exchange is limited to where it is accepted; the Barter Dollar is no different.
 
Excerpt from an article by Susan Groenwald, a pioneer of the Barter industry in issue 62, June 2004, of Barter News.

“Until the primary problems with commercial barter are fixed, the industry will not make a significant impact. If we cannot define our industry adequately, how can we expect the business community to understand what benefit we can provide? Our use of the term “Barter” to describe the proprietary currency that commercial trade exchange manages has created great confusion in the business community. I remain optimistic that someone somewhere will figure out how to solve the problems, or come up with a new approach that makes the problems I have identified moot.
 
Even Susan in addressing the problem of using the word “Barter,” uses the words “Barter”, “Trade” and “Exchange” in the same sentence.
 
We are sure Susan will be excited to learn that Buddy Hooper has come up with the new approach she was speaking of, and Barter will never be the same again.
 
In order to go where no Barter System has ever gone, or will ever go, we do not use the word Barter, Trade or Exchange; instead we operate as OrangeBee Private Monetary System, Inc.
