Have you ever bartered for eggs??

Part of my son's music lesson fee, bales of straw

 

You will be getting over 20 eggs per day. If I were you I'd price my eggs at current market value in your region, then look on craigslist for the current market value of an hour of tutoring and then come up with an even exchange.

Good luck!

I don't barter myself, but I am very intrigued by the process and would do it if the opportunity arose.

 

I have never bartered but I sure would. It would benefit both parties. I would have to say since tutoring isn't really cheap, I would probably give when the girls were laying good, 2 dozen a week.

 

Our friend said she could give us some pumpkins, tomatoes and cantalope for eggs

 

Quote:I agree-you don't want her to think about this later and feel ripped off.

I've not bartered for eggs, but certainly many other things I love that my eggs can be given as tips to people too-a neighbor who plowed our drive, my farrier, etc. Comes in handy when cash is short!

 

After school care!

 

If it is only the two of them, they may not need more than a dozen a week. Do you have a garden where you can supplement the eggs, maybe throw in carrots or cucumbers, etc.? If you are a cook, bake her something to add with the eggs.

 

I personally do not barter. I believe it could turn out ugly and someone is going to feel cheated in the end. This is my own opinion though.

Good luck! Although, trading eggs for garden fruit and vegetables doesn't sound half bad. I'd sell my eggs if I had a chance.
