Pronunciation:\ˈpər-chā-shən\

Definition:  (1)A Sociocratic form of barter, where all the concerned parties in the exchange of goods or services arrive at  prices by mutual consent.

                   (2)  A hybrid form of the words purchase and donation wherein the parties agree to and set the price of goods and/or services based on more than the costs involved (such as mission, cause, mutual interest.)  This concept has been brought about in some respects because of modern communication via the internet, etc.  Rather than receiving some mass-produced, inexpensive item in return for their donations, the purchationers recieve something of real value in exchange for their participation.  Both parties feel they have received intangible benefits the interaction.
