Barter is a method of exchanging goods and services without using cash that has existed since ancient times. Nowadays, the public is likely to perceive barter as illegal, antiquated, or irrelevant. However, you might be surprised to find out that barter is not only legal and recognized by the IRS coding system, but that it is the basis for an entire industrial matrix that is available to anyone that is interested in participating.
Barter is a dynamic financial system of trade for those who are willing to do business outside the box of the current financial paradigm. Join us as Ron Whitney, the executive director of the International Reciprocal Trade Association (IRTA), and American Commerce Exchange (ACX) president Mark Tracy share fascinating insights into the world of barter.
IRTA is a non-profit organization committed to promoting just and equitable standards of practice and operation within the modern trade and barter and other Alternative Capital Systems Industry, by raising the awareness and value of these processes to the entire global community.
ACX offers an innovative way for businesses to market their excess products and services. Rather than one-on-one barter, members become part of an organization system, whereby they have access to a wide range of talents and products in exchange for their own services and inventory.

As I always Say….. Why Pay Cash-When I Can Barter!
I think bartering is becoming popular and people are beginning to realize that it is nothing illegal (as you already indicated). It is just a smart way to get what you are looking for without using cash. I barter myself on http://www.barterquest.com, for commercial use as well as for business purposes. There are several users who offer their skills and knowledge, which could be helpful for companies AND individuals. I think this new trend will become even more popular as it is already!
