History

Established in 2000.

We originally started as a BXI affiliate office in Palm Springs, CA in 1991. In our first two years of operation, we enrolled about 75 local business owners willing to barter with one another in the Coachella Valley.

In 1993, I moved to San Diego, CA and over the course of next four years worked with various local barter exchanges. In 2000 we decided to strike off on our own establishing Barter of San Diego. We are a member with the International Barter organization, doBarter, representing about 300 barter exchanges worldwide.
