Barter - exchange (goods or services) for other goods or services without using money.

Today is going to be a simple question. (family friendly please ;))

1. If you could barter, non aquarium related, services or goods for livestock or equipment would you?

2. What services or goods would you offer?

I did a while back - I was moving out of state and was breaking my system down anyway, and didn't want to bring it with me. I "traded" my system for tattoo work across my chest. I'm happy, I believe the guy was happy as well.

I would happily trade a vast assortment of high-quality French and Italian soaps and lotions for corals, equipment, etc. Or dishtowels, scarves, hats, gloves, tote bags, eye masks, hot/cold therapy wraps... I work for a large-ish wholesaler of those goods.

I guess I could also offer woodworking services or copywriting, but so much easier to just put in an employee order... =)

My husband does all kinds of things from general handyman work to landscaping, lawn maintenance, furniture refinishing...used to own a company called “Dave Does it All” but fell and broke his back so now he’s a word of mouth kinda guy.
He would happily barter services for reef stuff

I would barter all the expensive jewelry my boss gives me at the holidays, all never been worn, all huge$$, all from very famous exclusive jewelers in Monte Carlo. I've tried selling on Mercari to raise $ for my tank (new lights last year) but I think ppl don't think the pieces are real/authentic (which they are)
It's tragic they all (10-12 pieces) just sit in a safety deposit box and never get looked at :(
Any takers?!?
I LOVE some of the other ideas, the fishing trips...the gourmet dinner for 6 -- just to name a couple!

I can do wood working, which seems to be a very expensive hobby already and can be very lucrative so I guess thats all I really need right. Also used to be a freelance webdesigner back in the day, and know how to repair computers/common electronics.

But bartering isnt of this century sadly.
You could build stands.

I’m a HVACR service tech would be happy to trade services for equipment. I also have a bunch of factory Jeep Wrangler equipment that I’m not using anymore.
