Bullets?
Or ammunition?
I’m surprised bandages or medicines or other first aid paraphenalia aren’t on the list.

As foolish as can be. You having ammo is good. The other guy not having ammo is good. There is plenty else to trade. Trade your ammo only if you want to die. Let's trade our nukes to Iran for oil! |
Can't believe that list hasn't got beaucoup guns.. Superb barter - even better convincer that your neighbor shares whatever they've got or doesn't take yours without asking courteously.
Would also recommend adding medecines of all kinds, particularly antibiotics.
A metal detector.
I just bought a Whites a couple days ago.

OK looks like there are a lot of people of edge today and frankly I think its a sign of what’s coming and in our ‘third sense’ or what even you care to call it has us on edge.
So to get us back on subject I like to point out that the Bosnian War survivor Selco has written extensively about his experiences including the act of bartering goods and services in a for real SHTF situation. This is no arm chair quarterback talking.
Theres a good amount in this article about how to go about trading, what was traded and so forth. Like:
First almost nobody were out during the day because of snipers, line of defence was very close, so whatever you have to do, you do it during the night, trade something, look for firewood (i can express how much this was important in town, and hard), looking for anything, check somebody, go to hear news (very very important, lot of people get killed because they go somewhere just to see what happening, or what s new) remember, no news, no radio ,no tv, nothing, rumors fed lot of people.
Already explained, you can stay home and die of hunger and cold, or even infection of some small wound or go out and risk your life, try to find – trade anything useful
I did have situations concerning my house only, it is no need for too much details, we had more fire power, and brick wall.
Also we had something like street watch, people from my street were good organized, in case of gangs, now there were a lot shootings.
There was pretty much shooting in town, i did not have enough weapon at the beginning, one rifle and one pistol (ww2), maybe 100 bullets, later i trade some things for more rifles and ammo, remember i gave car battery for 2 rifles.
How much ammo ?
A LOT, as more as you can.
Most of the time you are not able to determine who is enemy or friend, expect my family and few real friend, everybody else is potential enemy. When your friend must choose between his child s death and your death quess who is going to choose.
Rumors, somebody tells you that some old guy few block away have some cans and he is looking for ammo or whatever, you go there, as i say you are always looking for something. Same some people would came in my street as traders, witha some goods.
There was something like trade street during the night, actualy it was a big ruins of sport center, you can go overthere and look for something or offer something, but it was not controlled by anyone so it was too dangerous.
It was primitive pretty much, brick wall around house,bags of sand on windows and doors, over that bags we used whatever you can, big pieces of metal, stones, inside house we put all kind of stuff on windows, only small openning left for rifle, always 5 members of family ready for fight, one always outside on street hidden.
Harvey Randall says black pepper, spices, and exotic liqueurs.
another commodity that has been traded since the dawn of man. No mason jar needed.
