How many providers barter or have bartered

Just out of curiousity I'd thought I would see which providers have bartered for services in the past. What services would you be open to trading for?
I would with a mechanic. When your car breaks down and needs work it can often be very expensive. The mechanic might end up getting a good deal out of it if it's not too big of a deal with the car. Coming up with a lot of cash quick for a car repair can be difficult and being without a car means being out of work.

Yeah cars breaking down can easily become frustrating. I've always been lucky and mechanics have come fairly easy to me....I've built my motor from the bare block up I've done lifts etc. but it can be frustrating when a radiator cracks on you and have to change it out in a parking lot somewhere lol

I've found lots of girls needing tech support to get rid of a virus, connect a wireless network, hookup multiple devices such as IP cams or mount a large screen on the wall.

I've helped girls out with that in the past and got nothing but a thank you and a loaf of banana bread....looking for more than banana bread from now on.

I LOVE to barter my services for things I need or help in the house. Or even a trip to the store since I don't drive. I have a couple of amazing regulars who help sometime, but I'm not going to take advantage of them.

I'm living alone now for the first time in a while, and I've always counted on a man doing home maintenance. But I'm subletting a condo now, so there's no maintenance man and the owner made it clear he only calls in help for a major issue, like plumbing or an appliance failure. I even put an ISO or ad about 5 or 6 mths ago for handyman help and got some nice replies but then I got sick and was out for about 2-3 wks.

Soooo, I do still need help with fluorescent lights in the kitchen, I need hedge clippers and someone strong enough to use them on my back patio and also able to lift some heavy boxes. And a few other little things.

I'd kind of like to spread the activities out over a couple of weeks, and for each chore; offer my regular session after the chore, at a very cut rate price. These chores aren't difficult, just too heavy or too high for me. I have a few tools, but no clippers or step ladder.

I kill laptops, so also interested in bartering for one.

I've done bartering and for the most part, it's worked out nicely.

But the barter has to be for something that I need or just really want.

Right now, I'd do a whole lot of really naughty things for 2 economy plus (+) tickets to Spain this summer. Specifically, August.

I'd suggest if you have something to barter, a service or item(s), let the ladies know and then let the fun begin.

Oh, this was written above and I'd like to parrot what he wrote.

Be specific about the details of the barter. Set the boundaries, completely, before doing the bartering.

I've bartered for laptops, plumbing services, firewood and just a whole bunch of different items.

A few times, I've come up short on the deal but most of the time, it's been alright.

Bartered a laptop once for some fun, worked out well. Bought them from work for about half the cost of an hr session.
If anyone needs flooring installed I would be happy to work out a deal.
