The Workings of Brassique's Economy


Here is how the Barterplace Economy Works - Explained to you via the medium of Modern Dance...


No not really! Some Visual Imagery and a few words too ; D 

The Barterplace Way is one of Bartering Coveted Things: 

* Buying and Selling for Barter Tokens *

* Swapping for Things You Want *

* Sharing Things You Have *

* Promoting the Things You Love *


Brassique's economy is one of trading possessions and skills, alongside Brassique’s very own Barter Tokens, instead of using money.  Members use their Talents and Possessions as a form of Currency. 


By trading the things they no longer need, Savvy Barterers get the things they want, or reap rewards from the clever and wonderful stuff they can do.  We use the terms 'Buying' and 'Selling' to replicate the 'real world' ways, though Barter-Tokens change hands rather than money.  Exchanging one thing for another...that's the Barter Way!





It's a constant cycle of Bartering Possessions, Skills and Tokens to get ourselves the Things we want...those much talked about Coveted Things!

  2. Thank you Miss Bitsy!

    We're so glad this has gotten you all excited! Roll on going live indeed - really isn't that long now is it?! We'll all be Costering about soon enough : D

    As an aside...Wasn't Going Live that show with Philip Schofield?...ahhh back when we were mere youngsters that was. Although, our Ma' Rose wont even know who he is, let alone the TV Programme; she doesn't bother with such things!
