Re: Barter is New Medium of Exchange as Credit and Payment Systems Collapse.

and, one by one, they get turned over for cash

and, i sold one item, for $25, that i paid $10 for

one friend of mine, Bill, who moved to costa rica to develop land
cashed out about 400,000 in rrsp's
and, left canada -- he'd retired from the railroad
anyway--he, sold everything in his house
in approx 3 weeks, running a garage sale ad,
that ran daily for 4 hours
he would take stuff out to the garage, sell it
and, the next night, take out more stuff
he said, it was amasing how quick all his things disappeared that way
and, also, he got a good price for everything too
he left, with just what fit into his van/truck
and, he said, he never looked back, just forward
we accumulate a lot of junk !!!
however, what is junk to one man, is often treasure to another

then, shortly after he cleared out his own home
both his parents died, and he cleared out their house,
exactly the same way
