People will barter (trade). They will trade whatever they have for whatever they need.What happens if the person that has what you need doesn't need what you have?

that is the purpose of money. that is what defines money. it is the good that has the most utility in barter. that's why gold and silver are money, will always be money.

More than one thing could happen. The one guy could barter with someone else for soemthing he could trade to the other guy that he does need, just as one example.
