i love the barter section. sure you get idiots offering you a toaster and a vhs player for your motorcycle but there's good deals to be had. what i like about barter is i may have an item with a lot of valu to someone else but its almost a throwaway item to me and vice versa with the item the other person has. you can workout a good deal basically giving up nothing and getting something great.
i used to make and sell beanbag aka cornhole toss games. it would cost me abuot $12 in supplies to make a game and at the time they didnt sell them in stores so i could sell for anywhere from $75- $200. I'd post in barter section i want tickets to concerts, sporting events, etc. alot of guys have company season tickets they pay nothing for which have no value to them if hty are going to game but are valuable to me if i want to attend or easy to resell. d
id normally get abouty 4 tickets so i could sell for anywhere from 100-200 and i picked them up for $12 worth of lumber and a half hour of my time if that. i got bon jovie tickets to take my gf to concert, lots of chicag bears tickets, sox, etc.
then stores started selling crap bulsa wood and palstic games for dirt cheap and the business went away
