Are you all about trading objects and services? If so, I can relate! My name is Eugene Lawson, and bartering is my specialty. When I was a child, I used to play handheld adventure videogames in which trading items was a major component. The player had to find various non-playable characters and complete a tree of trades that would eventually lead up to a really amazing item. For example, you might trade a harp to a seal for an apple, which you trade to a caterpillar for a bonnet. Eventually after all these trades you are awarded something amazing, like a car. Now that I’m all grown up, I use swap sheets to achieve the same sorts of thrills.

Swap sheets are tools by which people can trade goods and services for other goods and services. I might mow your lawn if you’ll clean my grill. Physical swap sheets used to be far more commonplace than they are today. Unfortunately, in today’s world swap sheets tend to only exist online. In my daily life I try to promote the use of physical swap sheets by wheatpasting them all over town, but unfortunately very few people actually make use of them. So I’ve decided to join the bandwagon and bring my personal swap sheet knowledge and practices to the interwebs. I hope you’ll make yourself at home here in this virtual smoky den of swapsheet enthusiasts. We’ve got articles, news, tips, and ideas to make you scream in excitement!
