Barter this

Did you know that the last human barter took place in Donegal town in 1992?

Although this practice has nearly been eradicated in most spheres of Western Civilisation, it was still quite predominant especially in Western Europe.

The deal here in question was between a horse dealer and a local farmer and his daughter.

The horse dealer took her hand in marriage and promised her a healthy and fulfilling life in exchange for a brand new Mercedes Benz and a water boiler.

In 1991, a Portuguese dentist was exchanged for a biplane and 1320kg of Kerr’s Pink potatoes in the town of Fatima.
