Bartering up for a car

[Calvin]

I was impressed that a guy on a recent television show bartered his way up for a cool car for his son. He started with some little item that was worth a few hundred dollars and after a number of trades, he finally traded for a car his son wanted. This gives me some ideas.

I would so love to do that! I have heard of people trading all sorts of things. I think that as the economy gets worse more and more people will start bartering instead of paying cash. that might not be such a bad thing either in this age of consumerism.

Bartering up

I would probably never make it all the way to a car before I ran into someone who really needed the monetary difference. I bought some old fishing lures this morning, but I paid way too much for them because the garage sale owner was in his motorized wheel chair. I'm a softie.
