The bartering has begun...

[albin25]

Does ....

.... "Please God, don't let me catch this thing, and I'll promise to give up bacon and Doritos.!..", count as bartering?

I was in two different Fred Meyer's over the last few days (we had reservations at the beach before all this went down), and there was toilet paper at both. Granted, there was more in the morning than the afternoon and they were limiting 1 per customer, but they were there. Didn't buy any because I didn't need any. Imagine that. Maybe I should have got some and traded for a fancy dress for the wife or myself.

Yeah, I'd probably only earn about 3 squares...

True story - My daughter bought her first home last week.

I helped her move, built furniture, mowed grass, installed appliances.

But she REALLY appreciated the 12 Rolls of white gold.

You charging by the inch or by the minute?

Remember, bust a deal, face the wheel.

Also; two men enter, one man leaves

And bartering is trading and when done best both sides think they screwed the other side.

Before, during, or after the act?

@Stomper, you know better -- he had that french two course meal, soixante-neuf. @EPS had tacos, his partner kielbasa. Other's may opt for 96, but that's a Polish thing.

I almost put a sign in my front yard to trade TP and supplies for yard work while it was nice...

Didn't want to advertise I'm stockpiled though

I never thought of that. Sun is starting to come out here, grass will soon follow. Maybe I can offer some .22 ammo to get some kid to come keep the place up. Since I am too lazy to want to do it myself any more and I have one of those jobs that we have to show up for.

 

[BanjoGeek]

Well, I'm not trading ammo for bun fodder but I am knee deep in 22 LR and some other ammo that I would trade for money or a good quality WWII K-Bar or PAL with scabbard. Maybe other things, just don't know offhand. 22 ammo for $18 per brick and 223 for .30 per round, some 45 ACP ammo for $15 per box and a bunch of my handloads I would barter for components only.

You'd give up bacon!!!??? Strong move...

 

[osprey]

Damn people buy a bidet

We all have them already. It's aka a garden hose. Not sure what the neighbor was barking about the other day when I was in my backyard using mine.

Something about seeing that as*hole next door I'm sure....

 

[oremike]

I'd trade ammo for firewood. I'll probably need 4 cords for next year.

Dang, you upped your trade stock from smoked cheese to TP.

Master Blaster Run Barter Town!

 

[bzltyr]

T P. C'mon. Study showed a pack of four rolls, average use, two times a day, will last 32 days for a person. Use two, maybe last longer.

 

[sobo]

I don't remember who did it, but someone posted a TP calculator. Mighta been Heretic or Stomper.
With my stockpile, that TP calculator says I can go 338 days...

ETA: The math says that with my 37 rolls, it's a skosh over 9 days/roll, which jives pretty well with the study that @bzltyr references (8 days/roll/person).
I guess I'm just more frugal...
