I don't see this discussed anywhere but I thought I might suggest it to see what you all think.

A couple of years ago I needed a small plumbing job done and while the plumber was sizing up the job he noticed I was working on a laptop. One thing let to another and he explained that he had a PC but was clueless on how to get it setup. I offered to take a look at it and was able to get it up and running in about an hour. In return the plumber offered to do the job in trade for my 'service'.

I have a small recording studio and in the past have traded time in the studio for work that I needed (painting for example). Seems to work well.

What do you all think ? Is this something that could be made work ?

I imagine there could be a skills/services offered section where posters could explain what they can do and suggest some services/skills in return that they need.
