I usually like to trade for cash or check. On occasion I can be talked into a trade. I get oil field pipe, 2 and a half, and two and seven eighths. I trade for sucker rod, old power poles, bridge planks. Stuff like that. A chain saw would be cool, so would a Camaro!
I have to be careful, I am prone to collect junk, er, stuff.
The phone company does not want a couple of joints of oil field pipe in trade for the phone bill.
