Hello Metro Manila Residents!
We have put up this site to trade products using the old barter way--- goods or services is traded with goods or services, NOT cash and other forms of moneys.
This is an off-shoot of the
Freecycle idea to reduce waste, only, we post and trade items, not simply giving them away.
Points SystemTo hasten and improve the process, we have created a points system.
1. A member posts his or her products (in case of services, gift certificates apply) and post what she/he wants it exchanged for, or opt to gain "points" equivalent of his or her product.
- the reduced cost of the item (-10-20% retail price),
- less stocking cost (like maybe P5-P10/item applicable after a "bodega" becomes available---there is a plan to rent space because there is no such thing as "free lunch" nowadays, as well as for the clerical fee)
- so that a P100/retail price of a bartered item will have like P60-70 = 6/7 points.
2. After collecting certain level of points, a member may request an item equivalent to garnered points, so that she or he need not wait for someone to trade products with.
3. All trading members may opt to drop by their products at (
Bodega still under negotiation) or use our official Metro Manila courier service (
recommend cheapest) to pick-up and deliver their products. Pick-up and delivery charges apply.
4. After delivery of items, "points" coupon will be emailed to the member.
5. Accumulated cuopon points may be used to "shop" in the blog site.
6. All submitted products or services shall be automatically posted here.
