Barter: To trade goods or services without the exchange of money.

Semantics fail.

2. (Business / Commerce) (intr) to haggle over the terms of such an exchange; bargain



Freedictionary fail.

Barter's primary meaning in a modern context is "to trade without money," but all organic money (gold, silver, etc) was originally a barter (until some government provides legal tender laws), and the secondary meaning doesn't necessarily require the user to exclude money from the equation.
