Bartering For Services?

Perfect example of where barter works: Where an item one has is worth more on the street that they paid/have invested. If both parties have something of similar description the opportunities are endless.
But I would be open to bartering for something that i need and Is "fair" to both parties.. But doesn't include coming to my home. Equal value though. I don't see the point in bartering 220$ in car repairs for 300$ in services- may as well make the 300$ and pay the 220$! Maybe an sp that doesn't have the cash would take that barter but im not sure why an SP wouldn't have $220 lol
The $220 car repair barter for the $300/hour SP visit oly works when the SP makes the offer after getting her car repaired. The $80 difference makes the deal attractive to the mechanic only if he is in the market for her services.
I can not get over there tonight, so I will tell you the most likely fix. Take a look at your flapper, you can find it when you take off the tank lid and look into the water tank. It is the rubber thing that lifts up when you push the handle down to flush the toilet. It may be that your flapper needs changing. This part can be found at Canadian Tire for $5-7. The other thing you can do is to bend the float a bit, that may solve your problem.
I hope to see your flapper in your crapper the next time I am over at your place.
Likely the float, or the valve itself, then - if you pull up on the float slightly, does the water stop? If yes, the float maybe water-logged, and need replacing; if not, then the valve's shot... Either way, I'd replace the whole works (valve, flapper, flush arm, everything...) - I'd offer to bartor, but I'd be coming from Barrie - and by the time I worked in my travel, I'd need like 2 hours of your time; and that kinda throws off the "value for BOTH parties" concept...
I should have worded it better, I took delivery of said furniture without it costing me a penny, I have since been "financing with pussy".
Then it costs you at least one penny... I guess you meant it didn't you cost a penny, up front.
I think you guys are missing the point. The furniture guy bartered furniture for a LOT of Cupids hours. Awesome for him. Of course the drivers and girls still got paid.
Yes and again I will mention I am looking for a dentist, a landscaper and a contractor (big and small scale, looking to tear down my car port and build a garage as well as build closets, etc.). Interesting batters also accepted
Do any of your ladies speak Russian or Ukrainian? It seems almost all contractors in TO are Russian now.
I had a regular client offer to install my ceiling fan a couple of years ago. It took him 3 hours because it was also a light fixture. I gave him free BJs for months afterwards. I have had my car fixed and gave services in return. Bartering can be great, I have something you need, you have something I need. What's the problem?
I have bartered with people from all sorts of professions. My dentist and I have an arrangement, I did a deal a few years ago with an electrician and just recently with a popular mpa.. each and every one was great and both sides we better off for it.
any of you ladies interested in bartering pm me for details...

Everyone barter in life and at times you do it without even knowing you did.
At time I wish I can barter but with what I deal with bartering has to be a very lucrative in return and not a 1 or 2 month things.
Yeah you barter, mechanics etc etc etc you have to remember in the end the actual cost of the product to the person, so if you bring in retail prices you will loose out in the end.
IE: Say your mechanic bill come of for 3hr work and parts. Labour will be $270.00 Parts $ 200.00 = $470.00 to actual mechanic it most likely would have cost him 30mins or 1hr of his time which works out to be really nothing if he is hourly, but flat rate is different and the parts most shop chage 40% on top of what the part cost them. So to make a long story short, the mechanic kinda wins or is it both ?
It is different for IT pro business where severs and high end security comes into fact, how can someone barter with that ?
This post probably does not make any sense but oh well...
