Bartering
I would like to go back to this system instead of using dumb currency to pay for new stuff. This way I wouldn't hold on to as much stuff as I currently have. I could go to Target and "pay" for a new outfit with an old pair of shoes or possibly some tennis balls. Then I wouldn't have to work anymore because I'd have loads of stuff with to barter with. How do I go about bringing back this old world method? Get a petition signed or something? How 'bout you do some research on that and get back to me, mmmmmmkay?

Ebay.
point taken
yeah, but Ebay isn't as much fun as going to target and seeing all the brand new shit. half the fun is trading OLD shit for NEW shit. :) We just need to win the lotto Tina. Then we'll give away our old shit and buy all new shit.
I have a blog now. Lookatitlookatitlook!Itsablog!
Could one also barter livestock? Or things you made yourself? Like, maybe I have a whole sketchbook full o' sketches to barter. I'm trading my goods/services for new clothes. I think it would work well for everyone!
You can barter anything you want. You just have to find someone whose interested in your wares. Target should have a compliance rule. They should have to accept anything that people bring in to barter with. What's that you got there? A picture of the president made entirely out of macaroni noodles? I'll trade you this dirty sock for it!!!
Exactly. Or, "I made this sock myself out of a plastic bag and a rubber band. Gimme that DVD player for it, Target associate."
