Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A double-coincidence of wants occurs when two parties each hold an item the other wants, making a direct exchange possible without the need for a medium of exchange, like money. Since Sam wants what Sally has (sausage) and Sally wants what Sam has (eggs), their situation perfectly fits this definition.
