Overhaulin'

If you were selling your car, what would you take as payment?

I am curious to see what people would prefer to use for bartering in the USA if the US Dollar was not available. Please answer why also. Would you take: food alcohol guns gold silver oil platinum electronics furniture land other currencies like the peso or euro What else?

  1. Medical marijuana despensery
  2. Gold & Land right now, the value keeps appreciating over the long run, whereas the car value would continue to depreciate.
  3. What the hell would I do with a few thousand dollars of oil? Even if it was just paper, oil would be a bad investment if there is another recession even if it the safest commodity. Same with food; unless you are talking about futures which is basically gambling. I wouldn't take furniture either because it is not liquid enough and I'd have to store it somewhere or throw my old furniture away. What else I'd take: 1) Contracts for future goods / services (this is what doctors used to do back in the day. Can be expansive list of what is a good and what is a service) 1. A) Contract for "amorous" services (Not for a car but it would be a currency) 2) Other consumer goods, especially in the future.
  4. Gold,because the price of gold keeps increasing,while the price of platinum and silver stay put. The other things are not liquid enough to trade. And I have had them all in my mansion already,
