Bartering is fine...it takes two people to decide if they both got a great deal=you are not ripping them off or taking food off of any table by bringing goods that they can trade/barter/sell for a profit. Worse case = you buy+ bring stuff that you can't barter for a profit. Best case= you buy something for $10 and trade it for something selling for $20.....both you and the vendor leave with a smile....

An example....bought a $35 mask/fin/snorkel set at Target, made a deal with a vendor that on my last day I would trade it with him for this and that. I ended up with several wood carvings and he got the snorkel stuff that he could sell or rent. There is no way he could get such fine Target quality in JA at that price....and start a snorkel renting empire...(kidding somewhat). Point is that in some cases bartering works out well for both parties as it has since 2 hours before the concept of time was invented.

Barter on...or make it rain cash...the beat goes on either way....
