FAIR SWAPS MAKE THE BEST DEALS

by far the best way to build our own sets,
is to help you build yours.

Everyone is being relentlessly squeezed for cash
by big organisations such as eBay and government,
so collectors selling cutlery
naturally try and get as high a price as they can,
before trying to buy the cutlery they actually want.

We NEVER buy at high prices,
and eBay is almost impossible to negotiate on,
when open and fair negotiation
is The Very Foundation of a Satisfying Deal.

Open and fair negotiation
is personally and socially nourishing,
as it builds satisfying social contacts,
but relentless organisations have no interest in nourishing people,
prefering cold and remote systems of control,
which is why emotional undernourishment is so common in England today.

We - like you - often see cutlery offered for sale cheaply,
in charity shops or car boot sales,
which, if bought,
makes perfect materiel for SWAPPING.

When money is not involved,
swaps are simply a matter of perceived value,
and we find swaps greatly speed up making a deal.

there is less hardness in the dealing,

The KEY to our plan
is over time putting a guaranteed Swap Value on almost anything,
so that
ALL GOOD CUTLERY
becomes
A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE - just as Good as Cash.

We hope to not only build the CZ4M Project in Brighton,
but to expand it to other places,
so we need simple, profitable 'mini-busnesses' for fundraising,
and cutlery is just one of a number of ideas we have in mind -
all of which are soundly based on re-use and sustainability.
