Barter
wishlist of Peter Paine

The idea is that we swap equivalent things, so I offer a Symbolics system which cost me $30,000 to >$100,000 new for something that you have which might have cost a lot new and has now depreciated. The idea is not for you to buy something in order to barter with me - obviously I would prefer the cash (and cut the middlemen out). The objective with barter is to help those who have assets but no spare cash. The following are just vague suggestions (my birthday wishlist, and probably too specialist to be of use here) to give you some ideas, although I am open to any creative ideas of what you might be able to offer if you are short of cash.
