How it works

A plain way to trade local value.

Post what came from your hands. Find what someone nearby can offer. Agree on the details and meet safely.

From your hands. For someone nearby.

The trade process

The first version stays simple because the point is the exchange between real people, not a complicated marketplace.

Use a display name, general area and a short note about what you make, grow, repair, teach or can do.

List what you made, grew, raised, repaired or can offer through honest work.

Look for food, goods, tools, lessons, labor and other useful local value nearby.

Offer something of your own instead of turning the exchange into a checkout cart.

Work out the item, service, timing, general area and what each person is responsible for.

Use common sense, avoid posting exact public addresses and choose a sensible handoff.

Trade directly. The platform helps people connect, but it does not become part of the trade.

A good trade is clear before anyone shows up. Say what you have, what you want and what condition it is in.

Use plain details, useful photos and honest quantities.

Make sure both sides understand the trade before meeting.

Regulated goods and services must follow the laws that apply.
