I know about LETS and what I want to do is fundamentally different from a LETS, because they are always (1)Local and (2)about commercially available services (ie, things you could also buy with cash). Here's an example. On the simple example of the LETS you just pointed me to: https://www.communityexchange.net.au/info/example.html you'll see that their example is "car maintenance" or "oil change" That's fine, but it's not at all what I want to do.
- LETS are fundamentally about "shopping local".
- MoochMe is about doing things for each other that *are not for sale*, things you do not do as a career, that you enjoy doing.
Here's an example that contrasts a LETS with MoochMe:- Very few people wish they could spend their pass-time changing oil on other people's cars (a LETS)
- But many knitters love to knit, and are looking for new children, relatives, friends, anybody, who could use a knitted good, so that they have an excuse to knit more. (MoochMe)
Don't get me wrong, I think LETS are neat, and they've inspired the idea behind MoochMe. One of the big problems I have in communication what MoochMe does, is that people automatically liken it to a LETS.
