Trades for Ink

15 messages · last activity 5/8/2006

I just had to share this one, I just had a guy trade me a 1936 45 flat, for some work. for those of you that arent bikers......it is commonly known as a motorcycle. it was a great deal for me, this guy wants 4 pieces, each is about a $200.00 piece, in a straight trade, he brought me the running bike and clean title. so I made the deal. this got me to thinking about all the trades offered over the years, some have been good, some have been bad, and a few have just been strange. I dont take every trade that comes my way, but I do consider most reasonable offers. My big question is what is the best thing anyone has gotten in trade for work, and whats the strangest offer you have had. the bike I got today was one of the best trades Ive gotten for work, also rating at top, a trip for 2 to Hawaii, a pair of 450 quads, and a set of last years world series tickets. some of the oddest trades that have come my way have been food stamps, I laughed that guy out of the shop hummers, seems like every stripper in the world thinks her mouth can pay for anything........not that i mind i just dont think a blow job is worth 2 or 3 hours of work but the oddest thing anyone has offered me was half a cow..... it took me by suprise when I was asked about it, this came from a local butcher who wanted a little work done, all the meat came cut and packaged and delivered to my ol' lady... and heres the sweet part, he only wanted a very small piece done... i think it took me 10 whole minutes to do. so again what about you all? whats been the best/worst/oddest?
I was traded a $3500 digital autoclave for about a $400 tat on a guy that refurbishes dental offices. several pistols and rifles, a nissan 240z ,a new roof on my shop ,credit at a record store .
This may seem kinda strange but I traded about a $100 tattoo for my funeral! Yep...the funeral with all the trimmings including cremation costs about 6 to 7 grand!...TAz
thats f'd up
I don't think so...It saved my family a few grand!
yep
my best so far a set of 18" rims and tires for my truck. and ths strangest so far dog sperm. and i made the deal. i wanted to breed my pit with a guys dog and he wanted $250 so i got it for about a $100 tattoo.
Man, I don't even want to know how the heck Pitbull sperm was extracted!
Its Easy, Just have Boofy extract and spit into a jar.
never had any real fancy trades. i basically had the shop bathroom and other areas remodeled for a sleeve. ive gotten to know a good amount of people i can call on for small stuff such as electricians, hvac guys and mechanics. ive definately gotten some large tips and cool gifts as tips . oh yeah it also helps working on a good chunk of the local p.d.
This week a guy asked me for a tatoo and offered me a carton of smokes as trade. Then a kid i tattooed gave me a gaint crack rock as a tip .
jeez...........*tattoo.....*giant
Well... at least you get tips!
nice
