Amongst the other topics for discussion on his daily talk radio show (The Good Day Show) on Tuesday morning this week, Doug Stephan and one of his co-hosts, Roberta Facinelli, highlighted the benefits of putting MBE-barter to good use. Featured ‘live via phone’ was Merchants Barter Exchange (MBE) founder and President, Steve Bolles, as a guest and expert on barter.
Doug mentioned he had bartered often in the past, as he also owns and runs his own dairy farm – who hasn’t heard of a farmer that barters! Roberta – aka the “Queen of Cheap” – added that she had utilized the many benefits of bartering in her business experience. Both were interested in Merchants Barter Exchange’s rapid and successful expansion program.
In light of growing concerns about the ‘real’ stability and direction of the US and global economy, MBE could not have asked for more fertile times to be rolling out their aggressive business licensing program. Unlike most other barter companies, MBE insists on transactions being 100% on trade (no part cash, part barter, or ‘blends’ as they are called in the industry) and actually allows all members to spend first, if they wish (which most other companies say, but rarely actually can!) Most importantly in this current “cash is king” environment, MBE has systems in place to stop pre-existing cash clients being converted to barter ones.

I heard the show it was awesome. Are you coming to Atlanta any time soon? I’ve been involved with BXI, itex, and tradebank, they all wanted to charge me cash for stuff. I left all of them with a really big balance that I could not spend on anything useful. Merchants system sounds like it works much better.

Heard the show. Thought it sounded really good. Sounds like you are on to a pretty good thing there, especially the way the economy is really going. The only thing left for our grandkids to do will be bartering.

I missed the show, sadly, but I did hear your commercial. I had looked into Itex and IMS from an investment standpoint in the past, but once I saw the disparity of their pink sheet penny stock and what their alleged sales turnover is, I questioned their legitimacy and viability. You certainly seem much more credible than most other bartering sites I’ve looked into. Do you already have a presence in Phoenix?

This sounds like a great system. Sure is better than anything I’ve heard the Obama camp come up with. Didn’t Glenn Beck mention something about you guys a while back? I wish I had a business, or can people do this too??
