Nyeri Barter Trade

Forget about plastic money, credit cards, cheques and cash. Welcome to the cashless world of trade in central Kenya. In Mukurweini in Nyeri, residents seem to have fetched an idea right from the pages of their history books, from the world of their forefathers and have now embraced barter trade.

@cwmuruga: Relax nothing strange here. In the internet, u get far more value for items u are willing to trade by exchanging them with other people's items.

All you do is register, post an item, search items u like n u make an offer!

What is there to be ashamed of in Nyeri?
