Be careful with Lindens since in the fine print Linden Labs doesn’t have to honor the exchange of Lindens for money. It’s why they’ve lost access to many banks and credit cards as is (on top of not properly dealing with people who’ve stolen from said credit cards and banks with scripts on objects).
Don’t forget that bartering transactions must be reported. If you mowed your neighbor’s lawn in exchange for a home-cooked meal, you’re supposed to estimate the fair market value of the meal and the mowing service. (I think the difference gets reported on Form 1040-C.)
