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:
