We have come up with a solution for the issue of fairness regarding 'fair exchanges'
You can choose which method you will do. Both are accepted. The first method limits your ability to get what you want if the other person is not interested in your offering.
METHOD 1-
Strictly barter straight across. 'I'll trade you mine for yours'. (but you may still recieve Boutique bucks which you may turn in for cash) As you recieve Christmas bucks from others you can spend them and if you have any left in the end you can turn them in for cash.
METHOD 2-
I have made up $1.00 Christmas bucks (with my signature on the front of all of them as a watermark). When we begin the bartering week you may purchase the bucks from me up to $25. at a time. You may then use it to buy other's crafts or services, or make up the difference of an exchange. I will hold onto the cash and in the end you may turn in Boutique Bucks to exchange for $1.00 per Boutique Buck. So... in theory.. you can buy twenty Boutique Bucks to get you started then start trading your crafts with others and in the end turn in 20 bucks and get your $20. back. (those of us in the babysitting co-ops- it would be like turning in your original 16 tickets back to the group in the ticket co-op or getting out of the negative before moving away in the point co-op)
If you don't have Bucks to turn in at the end that means you bought more than you sold. So... everyone will be fairy compensated for what they do. This was the main concern I had.
- So if Julie sells 5 bags and buys 3 small ticket items and is out of pocket about $70. she should have 70 Christmas bucks left and can turn them in for the cash.
If Mary buys 6 items and only sells two items. Then she has no Christmas bucks to turn in and get reimbursed for. Her $20. goes to those who have not spent all their Christmas bucks. (her output was far less than her input)
If this is still confusing for you.... just call me and I'll explain it. It's really simple if I just explain it a couple more times.
