Bartering is something I have done but never intentionally sought out. Have you ever bartered?
Once on my way home from Buffalo my car blew a transmission, I called a regular that has a tow truck company. He drove the hour and a half to get my car and drove it the 45 minutes to my garage then 20 minutes to my house to drop me off for 2 90 minute dates. Around Christmas time he said " Hey, I have rims that would look nice on your suv want to do an overnight for them?" So I did.
