LETS in Australia
Rather than hi-jack another thread....
Information on LETS can be found at http://www.lets-linkup.com/
I don't know why LETS (roughly translated: Local Energy Trading Systems) is so popular in Australia, but we had fun - sold off all the goldfish populating the swimming pool, excess chook eggs and lemons. One of our members made great pizzas and fish and chips, so we used to book a takeaway for Friday nights - delivered and paid for in LETS.
Groups evolve to suit their particular community, so don't expect the same old....
It's a great way to start a social life.

Are you planning on setting up a goldfish farm then? You could find a secondary market selling an opportunity to those who want to try swimming with dolphins but find it too pricey

If you would like to set up your own LETS group, let me know. It's easy to do, and you can have the emphasis on socialising and communication through trading, or whatever. Personally, I'm not really interested in candles and having my fortune told by a new lifestyler, but I am interested in fresh produce. To each their own. What sort of things would you like to get out of a group?
