Barter and Christmas

[Millard Grubb]

With Christmas fast approaching I was wondering if anyone has used barter to trade for gift items. Of course, trading individually is something everyone can do.

I haven't hard of barter being used on the retail level much, but I am sure there are stories out there. From time to time, individuals in stores give me a heads up.

What I mean is, for example, an employee at a large store took me aside and told me that if I look at a certain place on an aisle shelf, from time to time, I would find some very real bargains.... sure enough it worked !

This trading might work if one uses a triangulation to get something for someone and then trade that for what you want.

Just looking for examples with smaller items.
