Bartering inhibits the hoarding of wealth.
Users are responsible for their own due diligence in
trades. The platform is not responsible for damages or
illegal items. We, as a platform, are a neutral
intermediary - we do not intervene in disputes.
We
do not take any responsibility for indemnities or
damages. In fact we would argue that the majority of the
attributes associated with the "bartering exchange"
legal entity type are not present with us as an
organisation, as the email conversations that people
initiate with one another (by means of this website)
contain agreements, and, arguably, any implicit value
assignments. This website provides a jump off point for
people that want to create their own "bartering
exchange" initiatives (through emails), and so we do not
carry the legal burdens and obligations that other
bartering exchanges are encumbered by. So the answer to
the question, "can I barter?", is yes, but all details
and aspects and particulars relating to it are at your
own discretion and not ours.
Please enter any bartering you've
ever observed into the "Successful Transactions"
section. This section does not need to be perfect. For
example, by the time it gets large enough for us to
worry about double-ups, the effect that double ups will
have on the ratios created will be negligible.
Ideally, to avoid this website being taken
down, we avoid tokenization of value of commodities
(taxable), avoid assigning market values to commodities
(taxable), and avoid being classified as a 'financial
institution' (taxable). To help us do so, please refrain
from claiming you've made any "material gains or losses"
through the use of this website, and if appropriate,
please confirm between parties that there is no monetary
motive behind any exchanges, through explicit
agreements.
It may be worth spending some
time familiarising yourself with local bartering laws to
avoid stumbling on regional legal quirks.
Consider including some reason as to why
you'd like to swap that particular item within your
email in order to help build trust and understanding
between parties, and please be civil during email
exchanges. Of course we advise to only do big swaps
face-to-face.
Short term plans: We are considering different
ways to allow photo attachments to entries utilizing
BLOBS/PicPurify. If everyone could somehow scan
everything in their house and upload whatever they want
directly to the supply section of this website, with
everyone doing this, people effectively become other
people's shops and proposals would be flying left right
and center.
Long term plans: Ideally
this is run on two blockchains, one running the logs of
who is listing what, and another running the logs of
what transactions have happened. Everything else can be
built atop of these two in some way. If you are
knowledgeable and wish to contribute please email us at
admin@canibarter.com.
Emails
are obscured when the page is
rendered, but unobscured when a row is clicked in some
of the tables. We believe this is a reasonable security
trade-off.
No user IP is kept from the
"transaction table". The IRS will regrettably not be
able to figure out who the transactions pertain to
should we be questioned.
