Even worse when you work for yourself and get all kinds of excuses for payment.
Well one thing I do now is mention right up front I will barter for items as well as take CASH.
Folks are strapped for cash at times and I do believe things need to take a spin back in time myself to some of the fundamentals the way life use to be
A little less stressful and more helpful if you can call it that to make things work out to everyones satisfaction.
So I have done a few barter jobs that I knew would not be big money but the person needed the help on their home.
Here is one Barter item acquired this week and it is pretty sweet too.
Its a Russian Makarov .380ACP auto
From Russia with love,it came with the ammo and case and I will get other 380ACP ammo for it when I get a deal on it ,but this beats no Boolits

Built around 1992 in Satin Stainless Steel and approx.15,000 imported into the USA
And you can still get all parts needed as well believe it or not!
So as far as cash,well I would need to sell this but as far as value on this and the work I did, I made out very well
I took this thing apart and If it was fired it was not much,clean as a whistle inside and out and this thing is sweet.
Nice and tight action and I think 27 parts total to the whole gun,thats it!!
So when times get tough as Brandy and a few others Im sure know...Barter works well.
Now my better half has killed her back and shoulder so I better do a lotta something faster
