I love all the barters told about here! I frequently barter picking up children from school for help with household chores.

I think "bargain, dicker, and/or haggle" might involve money and how two parties arrive at a mutually acceptable price for something

Bartering can and does happen with money. An item is for sale at $10 someone offers $7, that is batering. Usually an offer is met with a counter offer, it goes back and forth till both parties agree on terms.

Most of what people are saying on here is trading to me, I will give you this for that. That is a trade. A barter is finding common ground on a price.
When money is involved, it's BARGAINING not bartering.
