Trade by barter is a contract by which the parties exchange goods for goods. To complete the contract the goods must be delivered, for without a delivery, the right of property is not changed.
This contract differs from a sale in this, that barter is always of goods for goods, whereas a sale is an exchange of goods for money. In the former there never is a price fixed, in the latter a price is indispensable. All the differences which may be pointed out between these two contracts, are comprised in this; it is its necessary consequence. When the contract is an exchange of goods on one side, and on the other side the consideration is partly goods and partly money, the contract is not a barter, but a sale. The barter system often creates an unbalanced system of trade, where parties are unable to find others willing to trade. The barter system also lacks a common unit of measurement for goods and services. Since most goods depreciate with time, they become less attractive for trade and storing value.
* Barter vs Trade:
• Trade and bartering are methods that have been used for the purpose of obtaining required goods and services over the years.
• Barter is a system of trade in which one party exchanges products, goods and services in order to obtain required products, goods and services possessed by another. In a barter system, no money exchanges hands between the buyer and the seller.
• Trade, on the other hand, is a broader term which includes barter system, purchase of goods using money, international trade between countries, commodities trading, currency trading, stocks and bonds trading, etc.
• The main difference between barter and trade is that while barter trade does not involve money, other forms of trade occur with currency used as a medium of exchange.
• An important point to note is that the invention of trade whether barter or otherwise has developed a useful system under which individuals, businesses and nations can exchange or sell off the products or goods held in excess and purchase or obtain desired products, goods and services.
