THE ART OF THE DEAL

It’s a practice as old as time. Long before any kind of established currency existed, people realized that there was a much simpler way to source what they needed. Goods and services were exchanged for other goods and services. ‘Bartering’, as it came to be known, meant working with what you had and finding those that needed it. Do it well, and you can find yourself swimming in a seemingly endless pool of quality parts — as long as you can spare a few yourself to trade up. Hoarding away bits and bobs can quickly turn your shed into a gold mine for the right buyer, and using this cache to leverage your way to seemingly unattainable parts is often the only way to get exactly what you need.
