We're always intrigued when consumers manage to haggle their way to killer deals, which might explain our fascination with A&E's reality show "Barter Kings".
The show stars Antonio Palazzola and Steve McHugh, the owners of Express Trade, a modern day trading post in California. On a weekly basis, they barter their way to a cool $3,000-$5,000 each, one trade at a time.
Their strategy is simple: start with something of relatively little value and keep making trades until they've got something worth a whole lot more.
Last week we showed how they got nearly free publicity.
When Steve and Antonio decide to do something nice for their families, they set their sights on this log cabin in the wilds of California.
Owner Heidi has been struggling to sell the place, so she's open to a trade. All they have to do is find a new forklift for her son's construction business by the end of the week.
Any good barterer knows to start off a trade with a unique item, so Steve decides to see how much his prized accordion, valued at $300, will fetch online.
