Heres one you will like
Okay lets set the scene, there are three people this involves, and two items. Certain people want items and so work out a way of getting items.(This is based on something where I work.)
Person one has a cylinder head that person two wants. Person three has a winch accesory bag that person one wants. Person one can not pay person three for the bag until person two pays him for the cylinder head. Person two likes to make out he has no money and thus can not pay for the cylinder head. Thus person one and two come up with a plan. They decide that if person three gives the bag to person one and then person one gives the cylinder head to person two that part is then covered. Person two then turns round to person three and says "if there is anything you want doing to your vehicle then let me know and I will get it sorted for you" (Remembering that all parties involved are mechanics so person three can do any work he needs to do himself thus in no way needing person two to do anything for him.)
Person three comes and tells me all this and I just looked at him and asked "so what do you get out of this?" He replies " nothing at all just an offer to do work on my vehicle that I am capable of doing myself." So basically the other two get what they want for no money changing hands and person three gets a promise. I told him what I thought and he agreed and I do believe he told them that he wanted the money for the bag. As soon as he had told person one this and walked out of the workshop person one shouts across to person two and tells him that person three wants the money for the bag and by the sounds of it he is not prepared to go for the deal thay had set up.
Now is it just me or would any of you be prepared to accept this offer or like me you would tell them to go take a running jump.
