Izzet,



Perhaps the users of the forum would be interested in a barter page. Such a page would allow people with skills to trade off skills and products with each other while avoiding taxes and higher costs because of the nature of the transaction that is done at cost. I saw such thing on an Aussie based site and it seemed to work rather well.



Just an idea...

Not sure exactly what you mean.



Can you please give more details?



If you can post the address of the example site, that'll be the best.

Okay, I do not remember the name of the site, but I will try to better explain myself.



Each forum member who had goods to sell or services to offer would list them in a barter page on the site. This page had the contact information of the forum member, what he or she, had to offer and what they were looking for. Contact information was usually via private message or a website.



For instance.



Name Services/ goods provided Looking for To contact



Tim10 Lighting fixtures Furniture via private message





Also the page was divided up according to service and good types.



When this is done between people as barter taxes are avoided or reduced --depending on registered inventory. Also the prices were reduced because both sides were working at cost.



If you need for me to be more specific, I will try to do so.
