There's a difference between a set bartering system backed by centuries of success, and a retard trying to trade something of no value(garbage, two flowers and a bug) for something.
To top it off, actually giving sweets to yukkuri is a bad idea in the first place. It's been proven to ruin their ability to eat things they are able to gather without retching.
Last point. If you can't read the damn rules, you don't belong in any kind of community.
MRC This are yukkuris, not shopkeepers, this act is no barter, it's plain and simple "arrogant bragging" meant for demmands out of a mistaken assumption that it would prompt to humans giving it sweets-sweets, yukkuris always does it, either because of their poo-poo, or their eyes, or their accesories and hair, their "Cuteness" (notice de "" ), etc. They don't realize that those actions or achievements aren't worth of the sweet-sweets they demmand and instead it only annoy people, it is also well known that such attitude is a hint of trash to shithead status, since niceheads won't do this kind of bragging.
Actually if you want to get picky, the Yukkuri doesn't even intend to give all of her stuff in exchange for sweet-sweets. She's just offering to share some of it.
@MishterFire Which is kind of adorable. Makes me think Reimu saw Mister eating something tasty and wanted to share her tasty for some of his. I'd share, even if it sounds a bit proud about it's prowress.
Though if you think about it, a yukkuri in the city (as I assume due to the gutter trash tag) has got to have a hard time getting steady food, especially if it doesn't have ready access to loose trash/donations. So a yukkuri that's willing to risk bringing forward a day's worth of food to display to a human (when one would imagine they'd keep that away from other yukkuris) must be doing okay, taking a big risk or is desperate (which this one doesn't look).
Or something. Writing yukkuri essays while drinking can't lead to good things.
That would be nice and all if she hadn't used the typical trash phrase. And no, don't give me the "limited language" excuse, since yukkuris damn know how to speak without using trash phrases
It's basically a non honest form of kidness and if it was a form of barter using some trash lingo on it, it was going to lead to some people smacking it around.
Remember this, yukkuris may be willing to eat trash, but they are more than willing to become spoiled with better food if they can eat it, so what one day is food, the other can become "uneasy munch munch" so the worth of what she got is variable.

That's why I make sure to rip out their eyes and beat them black and blue.
Rationalize it easy!
Didn't want to necromance pics and comments beyond 1 month, but I can't help it now that I've seen it... I'd say MRC is definitely a bodied yukkuri, hidden somewhere in our society... along with that guy who claimed that a human driving wild yukkuri out of a sacred tree is some kind of blasphemy at one of noraaki's series (series_Independence, was it?)
Sorry to necro this, but I just want to say how hilarious the discussion was. I wonder if the artist knew this pic inspired so much debate about economics.
