why barter is better boy trades cell phone for a porche

watching the news just now there was a story of a 16 year old kid who was given a cheap cell phone for free he then went on craigslist items to trade section and traded for an ipod then again somethi8ng else and after a couple months and just 14 trades he trades a laptop for a dirt bike then a truck then a porche and hes not done there,k now he wants to keep on bartering till he gets a house.this has been my experience with barter as well i start with cheap crap and trade and trade and trade till yo9u have treasures.when you use money you have arbitrarily set values one item worth 100 dollars is worth the same as another item of the same valuebut without money a porche and a cell phone can have equal value or the phone could even have greatter valueots a much better system
