I like this option. It would allow me, as a retailer to "convert"       merchandise that I already have for sale (and probably decrease in value as       overstock if unsold within a reasonable period). I was looking into       something like http://barterpay.ca ..but there is no real assurance that you       would get anything back for the merch that you "reserve" for that process. I       would look at the bitcoin option something like "hey.. you've got something I       want, and I've got something you want.. and it avoids the 3rd party       institutions making you slaves of their perceived monetary systems."               I'm still very pissed off at the banks charging me for making a cash deposit       (cash or cheques)! A charge on a withrawal I can understand, but on a       deposit? -- not so much!               My bank also has a forgiveness on transaction fees if a minimum balance is       maintained. That too I find like a hostage fee. That minimum $ amount would       serve me better in an investment or be cushion for an emergency.              Ciao!        /|ug (https://t.me/aabolins)              ...
