I take back what I said earlier: I would absolutely sell my craft creations, and by "sell" I mean "trade for something I equally value". Do you like my punk rock giraffe stuffie? You can have one for $81... or a bag full of coreopsis seeds. A knit fringe lumberjack hat? Thats $195... or a jar of local honey. Ill sew new clothes for all of your kid's dolls, usually $300+ in labor and material, but Id rather they draw me a really cool picture that I can hang on my fridge.

I think it’s really important to build community in a goods and services kind of way. Like can you sew? Help with childcare? Are you crafty? Do you enjoy helping others clean? Do you have a lot of well taken care of chickens and have too many eggs for your family to reasonably go through? Do you have a random special skill?

If people can’t pay for these skills with money often times they will pay in other goods and services. Get out there, talk to people at your jobs and events. Trade chicken eggs for some cute visible mending on the pants you don’t wear anymore because there’s a weird hole somewhere. Trade off mending and alterations with someone who can fix that random thing wrong with your car or bike or appliance.

Community involvement is one of my favorite forms of resistance.

People use the bartering option in Fallout wrong. The bartering option is a math minigame, you want to have something you exchange something of value you have for that, its called Bartering not comerce, the caps come when the values dont match in trading so like:"i give you afew granades i have and this pistol if you give me 3 stimpaks and this bandage pack" "deal, but since i think these are abit much and you dont have anything cheaper to trade, here is this 3 caps" "good". Thats why nobody is rich on Caps in Fallout. All of Fallout economy is based on battering, caps exist when you dont have stuff to batter with like:"hey i got nothing but i can give 20 caps for those stimpaks" "fine, i take it. Here it is" and "i give you this, this and that if you give me caps" "you are weird but sure".

Wealth in the wasteland is:

• ammo

• clean water

● medicine

● food

• tools

● protection

A wasteland trader with: 300 caps, no antibiotics, no ammo and no food …is poorer than a farmer with: corn, purified water, two rifles, zero caps.

Its why bartering perks are in Charisma in the first place and not Luck, because if it was Comerce then the skill would be luck or Intelligence in business

In 2005, Canadian Kyle MacDonald began with a single red paperclip and, through a series of 14 trades over a year, eventually acquired a two-story farmhouse in Kipling, Saskatchewan. His initial trade was the paperclip for a fish-shaped pen, and subsequent trades included items like a hand-sculpted doorknob, a camping stove, and a recording contract.

I am the "oldest" and most mature out of my friend group so I am, obviously, the first one people ask for money, snacks, rides once I get my license, ect. So I have to come up with a system. I was originally going to give my friends passes, but I'm creating a bartering system. Howdy style.

THATS RIGHT. I'M MAKING SENSE OF HOWDY PILLAR'S BARTERING SYSTEM SO I CAN STEAL IT MYSELF. I AM GOING TO TAKE SO LONG TO MAKE THIS.
