And yes I didn’t mean barter I meant haggle/negotiate. Oops. But I have in fact had some opportunities in the past, most often with friends to trade textbook for textbook, but yes it is very rare. Thanks.

Old fashioned, but highly effective. Do it for the first or second lecture for best effect. This way you get to advertise to those people who are too lazy / too busy or simply don’t know of the online classifieds where textbook ads are posted.
