What Are The Negatives of Barter?
Seemingly none. This is part of what makes barter so impressive and attractive. It is so simple and effective, yet there is no perceptible downside. I spent a lot of time researching barter looking for negatives, and all I could find were a few challenges, but nothing that would be considered a real negative. Most of the challenges have more to do with the back office operations and management of the barter exchange itself, including hiring the right Brokers who do the right things to assist members with account management, ensuring fair pricing within the network and maintaining a strong, productive mix of member businesses.
