So anyone out there done this is?
Do you typically trade straight up even or is there still some cash or something involved in the long run? Do you adjust your rate for this?Reason I'm asking I know chiropractor that wants design work but wants to trade which would be great since paying out of the pocket is expensive and the reason I don't go and my back is always sore. But I don't want to get ripped off.

chiropractors are hacks, be aware.

i did this for a barber friend of mine. Did a logo for her and got a couple hundred buck, and lots of free haircuts. It worked out ok, but to be honest, i didnt give the logo 100% just because of the whole situation.

Yeah I have done a few times. I usually trade so no cash involved.
Last one I did was a website for a security company. They gave me most things at cost so I ended up with more than I bargained for. They got a website. I got a security alarm for my house, a video intercom with two lcd screens, 8 camera day/night dome cameras, a 500gb digital video recorder, private tv channel with security camera channels, and installation.
I live in a quiet estate out in the country side so all my neighbors think I'm a drug dealer. Other than that it worked out pretty good.

Just estimate your rate x time and see if what they want to trade matches up to that cost within reason.
