Barter
People occasionally ask me if I'll barter with them, or if I'll lower my price if they throw in something else extra from their end (like meals, lodging, etc.) The answer is Yes but only for some very specific things.
Right off the bat, let me tell you that I very rarely barter for meals because I'm extremely, shall we say, "choosy" about what I eat. It is also extremely rare for me to barter for overnight lodging near a show because I pretty much always go home to my lovely wife at night no matter how far from home I'm working.
That being said, here's some items and services I'm especially interested in bartering for:
color copy machine
high grade binoculars
professional dental services
business flyer folding machine
professional carpetting services
professional electrician services
MSR Denali Classic snowshoes
professional auto repair services
professional picture framing services
professional basement sealing services
40 yards of 6' stockade fence with two gates
overnight accommodations for two on (or within easy walking distance to) the ocean
If what you have to offer isn't on this list, I'm always happy to discuss other possibilities.
