(29) I service computers

Trading is easy for a computer repair company. Louise has a small Web page design company using five computer stations. For several years the machines have been serviced and maintained by a computer repair company owned by John. Louise has been spending about $3,000 yearly with John and they have had a good business relationship. Thomas, unknown to either John or Louise, has a computer repair company in the same city with free time available. John made a proposal to Louise that she do his Web page work in return for Thomas's company servicing Louise's computers. Louise knew her company had enough unused time to be able to do the Web work for Thomas while incurring very little extra cost. This made her decision easy, and so she moved her $3,000 in annual business from cash to trade. Louise saved considerable cash. Thomas, in turn got his Web work done using some of his unused inventory of time. Both Louise and Thomas benefited. John, on the other hand, was the loser as he saw $3,000 a year of his cash sales silently disappear. Never forget that trading a product or service to someone is much, easier than selling the same product to them for cash. People generally will jump at the opportunity to trade and save their cash. Once we fully understand that the Private Trade Dollar System trading is entirely new business for both parties using vanishing inventories, and not a substitute for a cash sale by anyone, we will know its power.
