OK... I have been with Dibspace for approximately a year and I can honestly say that it is just one of the worst experiences of my life. I can't say enough bad things about Dominic Canterbury who came up with a good concept, got a lot of people excited about the concept and then it became big and we all got to find out that Dominic should be working a straight job because he is just someone who isn't motivated and needs supervision. They were really super excited that they hooked in with a bigger bartering network call BizExchange but my business did exchanges with them years ago, and they were also awful. I personally know 7 people who own very good small businesses who are no longer taking Dibs for their services and just looking for a way to spend them and get out as fast as they can. I'm one of them. Mr. Canterbury is one of the most disorganized people I have ever not have the pleasure of meeting, because the day we were supposed to meet, he stood me up. When I called him he said he was sick and forgot to call me. So I got to check out of my office in the middle of a busy day, drive 15 miles in one direction to meet him, stay there for a half an hour and drive back the other 15 miles when he said he wasn't coming. He never apologized and he never rescheduled. I believe he will try to franchise Dibspace out to entrepreneurs, but if you get a recruiting call from him... take it from me, a trusted person in the SJ community to NOT do it!!! You will regret it. I do hope that someone checks his business model and just does one on their own... But don't work for or with him.

Dylon P. This is a really genius concept and craigslist should be doing something like this. Basically creating a virtual currency. I could imagine hauling someone's furniture in my truck and using those points to trade for a TV. Keep it all online and that way the transactions are safer and easier to negotiate as the currency is all online. Great website, though not sure if there are enough users yet for it to be valuable. Would be interesting to hear in the future how your experience is with the company.

Melinda L. Well... I think once they get the kinks worked out they are going to take it to the national level! But it is a fantastic idea...huh?

Melinda L. When I wrote the above post, the company was quite new. They have gone downhill so fast... it looked like an avalanche. If you live in the Seattle area, stay far, far away from this site. Alll my friends are droping out of it at record rates...and it's too bad, because it was a good concept, but the owner, Dominic Canterbury simply doesn't know the first thing about running his own business.
