Reducing or eliminating the need for shipping

Anyone who has done business with me or seen some of my listings in the RC marketplace has probably realized that I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how people can trade copper bullion or use it to pay for stuff without having to involve the USPS each and every time they transact.
Counter-party risk will always be a problem. The only sure way to avoid that risk is to take physical possesion. But now a new bartering website has caught my attention. Unlike many traditional bartering networks, this one seems to have some new dimensions that wouldn't have been possible or practical before, but thanks to the internet, things may have changed for the better.
There are more than a few people there who are offering to trade copper and nickel bullion. I doubt it could ever replace eBay or even the RC marketplace, but I plan to experiment with it. Has anyone else used TradeChains.com or a similar barttering website?
