Horse trade ?
Im a horse trading fool but I really fell into a good deal. My van needs to be lettered and funds are tight as i just dumped a truck load of money into my van and equipment. Ive been getting estimates to do wraps and lettering in various ways and im at a loss as to what I really want.....Ive always liked the clean look.....not over the top like some wraps can be, although they can be good ....well, I went to a guys house who I heard did signs on the side but was an old sign shop semi retired...as I pull up this old guy is throwing wet pad out his front door and is a little upset looking....So yeah! we traded....my sign goes on partially this weekend and next week as he needed to order more of my colors to complete the whole job. I'll post picks when Im done.
What have you traded for? I got a vette rear end once for a $350 cleaning trade and sold the aluminum rear end for $3500 next day. never touched it. I have tons of stories like this as I grew up in the Pawn and antique business...just a wheeler and a dealer.

Re: Horse trade ?
Funny you mention that. Im trading two rooms of carpet cleaning for cutting my grass that;s about 3 feet high. I think I might be getting the better end of that deal

Basement flood extraction for a root canal....straight across.
I didn't have dental insurance back then, but did have a dentist with a flood on my route.
I won on the money savings, but he inflicted the greater pain. I think he saved some money on the pain killers.

Re: Horse trade ?
I traded cleaning at the beginning of the year for $600 worth of van lettering. I am always looking for a good trade out...
Re: Horse trade ?
I will barter when I think it's a fair trade, but I can't think of the last time I did it..............well maybe cleaning a couple hundred sf of office space for a 1000 ncr 2 part invoices, from my printing co.

Re: Horse trade ?
only have done really small barters, like a nice coffee table once for some money off the bill.
I did hardscape a guys house once for an Aprilia RSVR, was a pretty sweet bike
