Find out more about bartering

BY ROBIN SHEAR

Special to The Miami Herald

Bartering done through trade exchanges accounts for about $2 to $3 billion annually in the United States, estimates former New York Yankee Robert B. Meyer, publisher of trade publication BarterNews since 1979, now BarterNews.com.

Bellevue, Washington-headquartered ITEX Corp. has numerous South Florida franchises. The public trade exchange, a rarity, boasts $270 million worth of cashless business transactions in North America and reported an 11 percent revenue increase from $10.7 million in 2007 to $11.9 million in 2008 for the first nine months of its fiscal year.

The International Reciprocal Trade Association's 29th Annual Barter Congress is set for Sept. 22-25 at the Westgate River Ranch Resort outside of Orlando.
