How It Works
The goods and services listed in the Humboldt Exchange Directory are offered by individuals who accept Community Currency. We recommend each person accept 1/2 US currency and 1/2 Community Currency as payment for goods and services offered in their listings. These "person-to-person business ads" cost $10 for up to 10 lines, and $1 for each additional line.
The first time you list, we will send you $86 in Community Currency (one of each of the bills). After that, we will send you $16 in Community Currency each time you list. Everyone agrees to abide by the minimum Living Wage of $10 per hour for labor.
Obtaining Community Currency
There are three ways to obtain Community Currency:
1) By listing in the directory. People listing for the first time will receive
$86 in CC, and $16 for each subsequent listing
2) Being paid for providing goods or services.
3) Community Currency can be purchased at face value ($1CC = $1US)
Personal Responsibility Guidelines
We would like to remind you that we do not take responsibility for the completion of exchanges or how satisfied participants are with the outcome of their exchanges.
That said, we encourage you all to take precautions to ensure that your interactions with other members are fair and safe.
- Talk on the phone before meeting to get a feel for what the person you are trading with is like.
- If you are at all unsure meet in a public place or bring a friend along.
- Decide on a price prior to doing work or swapping goods.
- Be responsible about your listings, responses and exchanges.
