Barter for what you need-A good place to start is Craig's list (choose your area, then look on the left and type in what you are looking for or choose from the list in the middle.) Don't forget to look under Barter, Wanted or Free sections.
If you find nothing under barter, go to skilled trade services and send them an e-mail asking if they would be willing to barter for what you have to offer. For types of things that can be bartered check out http://barter-tulsa.webs.com/
