I once put an add in the paper that said, "If it free its for
me". I had to stop the add because I collected so much stuff.
Adds do work. The problem with this add was it was not specific
enough to target what I was looking for. Over time and years I
then started to swap and barter the free stuff that I got for
things I really wanted. I had hundreds of broken lawn mowers and
hundreds of gallons of old unwanted paint. I had enough paint to
dip a house if needed. Disposal now became an issue. Thus I came
up with the idea of trading and barter.
Now I did not invent this wheel but I had enough of them that
it appeared I might have. So barter has become a means of
swapping and exchanging my surpluses for other peoples
surpluses. Since I am in the nursery bussiness I also have
plants that are surplus. I may plant 1000 trees expecting to
need 1000 and find that I have 500 more than what I need. So
offering these trees on the web for Barter has an effective
means to move dormant inventory. Besides this is a great way to
meet new customers. When they have surpluses and I can move
their dormant stock, we both win. Here is a sample add that I
run on my web site http://www.seedlingsrus.com :

Sometimes people take me up on my offers to trade trees and
shrubs for their products. One such person is Ralph. Ralph has a
farm in Ohio and raises a variety of farm animals and draft
horses. He asked if I would be interested in trading trees and
plants for his pigs, a Boarder Collie puppy, or his sheep. Not
baaaad I thought. Never really trusting myself with sheep, I
opted for the puppy and some piglets. Here is what Ralph said
after our trade.....
Bill and Marjorie,
Thank you for a great time, the landscape stuff, some great
conversation and for having faith in 2 people that you've never
met. Your boys are real gentlemen and good guys to be around.
You must be proud. Your operation is top shelf. Thank you for
taking me up on my proposal and our barter deal, you were more
than fair.

items that fit into our operations. I like to include a
testimonial as it gives a link that can be verified as to the
realness of my trading. I also have a newsletter so each month I
can tell people what I just traded for. Here is part of my most
recent email newsletter:
