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.

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. Sad

I traded cleaning at the beginning of the year for $600 worth of van lettering. I am always looking for a good trade out...

I did hardscape a guys house once for an Aprilia RSVR, was a pretty sweet bike
