Code Name Insight: 100 Barter-able Skills and Services

In our everyday lives, if we need something done we usually break out the wallet or credit card and take care of the problem. ?It's coming to the point for many people, however, that they need other options besides cash or credit, to obtain the things they want and need. ?Enter the concept of bartering.
Bartering has been used for centuries and only went away from common use within the last century or so. ?These days many people feel uncomfortable with the concept of bartering (not ALL people as many communities have thriving underground bartering networks). ?Among the issues: they think they lack anything to trade, they are uncomfortable with the whole process, they don't know how to approach people about a trade, etc.
While much of the bartering process simply requires a bit of nerve and people skills, you will also need something (or many somethings) to trade. ?Note that trading things--like a rifle or a car or something smaller--is perfectly fine for bartering but once the item is gone, it's gone. ?With skills and services you can barter these things repeatedly. ?Here are 100 barterable skills and services that many people are happy to trade for:
