Dear Car Owner,

I am looking to purchase a second vehicle for my business. Preferably something like a Ford Transit Van, Toyota Hilux or even a large sedan.

I am a General Practitioner and owner of Chermside Medical Centre and have been successfully working in my own businesses now for 13 years. One of my marketing strategies has been to trade in the Bartercard economy and through this I have developed a stockpile of Bartercard dollars that I am looking to put to good use in my business.

I have noticed on the internet that there are many vehicles being listed but only a select few sell so I wondered whether if I could provide the same value using barter dollars I could create a win win situation.

In case you are unaware, Bartercard, in summary is a collection of businesses that trade in its own currency using “Barter dollars”. These Barter dollars are seen by the ATO as being equivalent to ordinary cash currency and are treated with the same tax laws. Barter dollars are used to purchase and sell goods and services amongst trading members within the Bartercard organisation. There is a 6.5% transaction fee for all transactions in the same way that there is a transaction fee for using a cash credit card. There are 550 businesses within the north of Brisbane and around 75000 businesses Worldwide, the majority of these in Australia.

I have surplus Barter dollars and limited cash dollars at present. I would like to propose that I purchase your vehicle for the current list price/opening bid/reserve price  and pay with Barter dollars which will be placed on your own Bartercard to use when you wish. I will cover all transaction fees.

How do you spend my dollars?

I have been trading in Bartercard for 8 years and am recognized in the Bartercard organisation as a “Top Trader” due to the relatively high volumes of Bartercard dollar transactions that transact within my business. I have established many relationships with existing suppliers who I can refer you to and I have an account manager who can help you spend your Barter dollars at the same value as a cash dollar. am able to source suppliers of quality products very quickly. I can supply a list of suppliers that immediately I can think of who will be able to accept your new Barter dollars and relevant to your business.

Certain items are difficult to source in the barter economy ie cars, fuel, electricity or certain goods with a very tight profit margin (like white goods).

As part of the arrangement, the following terms will apply regarding your barter dollar credits and this arrangement:

1. You have unlimited time to use your dollars
2. You can assign your dollars to whomever you choose
3. You can use your barter dollars for whatever you like i.e. business or personal use
4. You can spend your barter dollars overseas in several participating countries if desired
5. You can spend any percentage of your credits at any time
6. Your credits will appear in your Profit and Loss report as a sale in the same way as if you had sold the goods for real cash.
7. I personally guarantee that you will be able find use for your credits to the equivalent value of real cash.
8. Barter dollars used to purchase goods and services in your business or personal life which ordinarily you would use cash for, will save you cash that you could put to other uses and effectively convert your Barter dollars into cash dollars
9. You do not need to join Bartercard to spend your barter dollars. Whilst I can vouch for the benefits of joining Bartercard (and am more than happy to provide further information and contacts), I am not motivated by the concept of you joining Bartercard.

10)  I will pay for all transaction costs as you spend your barter dollar credits.

Guarantee

• If desired (for large a large transaction amount) I can draft a legally binding agreement prepared by a solicitor.
• A Barter Card can be provided to you which only you can sign for which gives only you full control of the deposit which is applied to your card so income is guaranteed from Bartercard itself. I can put you in touch with authorities at Bartercard to ensure validity.
• I can provide many references to verify my good standing.
• I am 100% confident that this arrangement will succeed for both of us provided you are interested and I will spend as much effort as I need to help you spend your dollars quickly.
