Best items to store for Bartering

[Carrot Cruncher]

Following on from Pietka's post about possibly storing clothes for use for bartering what else would be good to store ?

The ideal things (i think) would be small, cheap to buy at present but potentialy high value in the future. It might be good if we could end up with a list that we could pick and choose items from

Here's a couple to start

Puritabs
Cheap Lighters

Cigarettes, tobacco, rolling papers and/or Nicorette products
Condoms
Alcohol - doesnt' have to be expensive; Netto do a great bottle of gin for £7.50
Soap
Shampoo
Nail files
Toothbrushes/toothpaste
Baby lotion/cheap moisturiser (it would drive me insane if my skin was all dry and awful )
Vaseline (ditto chapped lips - enough to send you round the twist)
Cheap razors

Refined metal products that would be hard to manufacture post TEOTWAWKI:

razor blades
decent sharp knives, penknives, lock knives etc
needles of different sizes, including canvas/leather needles
fish hooks
knife/fork/spoon
tools - axe & saw blades etc.

Some might be a bit heavy to carry but razor blades, needles and fish hooks could even go in BOB for battering on the move...
