BARTERING
|
|
There is nothing
more exciting
(debatable) than
getting something
you want or need and
being able to get
rid of something you
didn't want or don't
need anymore without
digging into your
wallet or purse for
hard-earned cash.
|
|
One might think that
bartering is beyond
them, that it is
beneath their
dignity to barter
for items or
services, yet
bartering has been
around since time
began. Adam and Eve
bartered with the
devil in the Garden
of Eden and
therefore were the
forerunners of
bartering. |
|
If you think that
spending your money
at the mall is more
fun than bartering
you have another
thing coming.
It is a great way to
make new
acquaintances, new
friends who might
share common ideas
or hobbies... not to
mention, saving
money. |

|
The strongest reason
for
the
people to retain the right to keep
and bear arms is, as a last resort,
to protect themselves against
tyranny in government. -

PLEASE READ
Please be
aware that the
structure may change
along the way as we
redefine the
intended concept of
a bartering web site
suitable to Blount
County and its
citizens. This web
is designed
to serve the
residents of
Blount
County who
submit
listings.
Many clients
may not want
to be
bothered
with
shipping
however
there will
be some that
will ship.
Make sure
you discuss
shipping
terms with
our clients
if you are
outside our
county or
state.

Who Can Submit Items
or Services |
|
Over the years I
have tried to serve
Blount Countians
with web sites by
refusing links outside the
county boundaries,
and it is my desire
to be no different
with
Traders Among
Us.
In order to place
an item, property or
service in this web
site you must reside
in Blount County
Tennessee.
We have an example
of a Blount Countian
who is selling
property which is in
Greene County
Tennessee. This is
allowable because of
his residence in
Blount County.
|
|
|
|
NO AUTOMATION |
|
Until we see how
this site is going
to perform we will
not use a system
allowing the
individual to upload
items or services to
the site. All you
will need to do is
email me a brief
description of your
item or service,
what service
category you would
like it listed in
(Buy, Sell,
Trade/Swap, Give
Away, or What It Is)
and attach a
photograph to the
email and submit.
You can even send
the information via
the Postal Service
if you like.
Either way you must
provide me with your
contact information
including phone
number, street
address and email
address in order
that if need be I
can confirm you
being a resident of
Blount County
Tennessee.. |
|
I have always kept
automation out of my
web sites for one
reason only, and
that being to keep
my nose in
everything going on.
It serves to give me
a sense of what is
happening throughout
the web site even
though it is a bit
more time
consuming... but
this is my choice at
this time. |

"You cannot legislate the poor into
freedom by legislating the wealthy
out of freedom. What one person
receives without working for,
another person must work for without
receiving. The government cannot
give to anybody anything that the
government does not first take from
somebody else. When half of the
people get the idea that they do not
have to work because the other half
is going to take care of them, and
when the other half gets the idea
that it does no good to work because
somebody else is going to get what
they work for, that my dear friend,
is about the end of any nation. You
cannot multiply wealth by dividing
it."
-
The late Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 to
2005
