Dear Jane;
We encourage people to directly exchange their item with another desired item of similar value, if they wish. A direct swap if you will, or bartering.
We're planning to make the event a cash-free event and a space for direct exchange of goods, services and even talents. This will also evoke nice conversations and getting to know one another...
We hope to see you there and look forward to your ideas and suggestions.
Vida

You say "swap meet" but can people put nominal prices (garage sale prices) on things if they don't need "swaps?"... THX
