How Barter Got Dave 30%-50% of the Junk He Sells at his JunkYard

[Glenn]

Thanks Gordon,

You Barter or do Chatteling on Craigslist.

So you will get a LAUGH about this Barter Beginning.

ONE - I made a Bribe offer to my list - ASKED them to Vote
on which NICHE at BannedBarter.com - they LIKED BEST.

"CraigsList Barter" Got 5X More Votes than any other.

So.

I was running my eyes down the F_R_E_E Section of CraigsList
near me.

Found this Item:

---------------
"3 skunks free, you trap and remove"
---------------

LARRY HAS a Problem.

The STINKIER his PAIN the Better for any Barter deal.

HERE's
What
We've
Done so far...

I Called - Got VM and hung up. (I want him to Write me so I can Share.)

Then Emailed Larry with a note...

"Hey Larry,

"Your Craigslist Posting brought back memories.

"A - As a Kid We used Humane Wire traps to catch Raccoons and Groundhogs
that are eating our corn. Drove them far away.

"B - We Caught a Skunk. My 2 Brothers wouldn't Get involved for fear of
getting SKUNK SPRAYED.

"C - But I figured a way to get the door open - safely.

"And had to come up with 2 OTHER Strategies too.

"Skunks seem to love Apples.

"We caught THREE skunks. Each with a different Personality.
So
the same trick wouldn't work twice.

========

FINALLY - I told Larry - "You are 50 Miles away from me.

"How BAD a Problem are your 3 Skunks?

(I mentioned that usually skunks are GOOD to have around - they dig out
and eat Yellow Jacket nests in the ground.)

========
========
BARTER ACTION PLAN -

NOW we wait to see what Larry says.

I - How Badly does he want his skunks gone?

II - What is he willing to pay me to come catch his skunks?

III - Will he PAY cash?

IV - What does he have to Barter?

V - Can I just TEACH him what to do and still get Paid?

Dunno yet.

BUT.

Unless Larry is a JOKER and CraigsList Clown. HE HAS A BAD SKUNK problem
to risk Getting made fun of on CraigsList by all his friends.

Thanks,
