Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] psubs club sub



Mike here in Malaysia,
D has a good idea. How about people who need custom
built stuff but don't have the expertise to do
welding, but can do something else for the person who
does the welding or molding or casting or whatever,
using a barter system. I need a frammitz, and Carsten
needs a grommet. I do the grommet for Carsten, and
since he does frammitzes we barter for equipment
needed. There's also the fact I might be able to find
someone here in Malaysia thyat can do something
cheaper than in the US or Germany, or wherever. It's
an idea.
