Ep 4. Swingin' Deals and Screamin' Wheels

In the Barter Kings season 2 episode 4, titled "Swingin' Deals and Screamin' Wheels," viewers are in for an exciting ride as the two skilled barterers, Steve McHugh and Antonio Palazzola, are on a mission to trade up two items to get their hands on a vintage motorcycle.

The episode begins with Steve and Antonio armed with a unique wooden swing, which they hope to swap for something of greater value. They head to a local car dealership in their search for a trade-in deal for a car. They meet with a salesman named Mark who also happens to be a harpist. The team proposes to trade the wooden swing for a truck that Mark would use to transport his harp to various gigs.

Mark is intrigued by the proposal and after some haggling, the team tries to trade the truck for a classic car. They visit a classic car showroom where they meet with car dealer, Tom. They pitch their proposal to Tom and offer the truck, plus cash, for the car. Tom decides to offer them a better deal, which involves a swap for a 1969 Mustang.

After getting their hands on the Mustang, the team sees it as a perfect barter with a motorcycle dealer. They feel they can trade the car for a 1970 vintage motorcycle. They visit the dealer and meet with a motorcycle enthusiast named Dave who runs his own shop. Dave proposes to trade them an old motorcycle for the Mustang.

The duo agrees on the deal, but as they get closer to closing the transaction, they realize that the motorcycle may not be worth as much as they had initially thought. They are skeptical about the deal and are hesitant to jump in. To make sure they are making the right decision, they take the motorcycle to an appraiser to determine its value.

After the appraisal, they come back to the motorcycle dealer, Dave, with a counteroffer. They offer to trade the motorcycle for a car instead of the Mustang, which they believe is worth more than the motorcycle. They select a 1968 Mercury Cougar and offer Dave the deal.

Dave is hesitant, but the team manages to convince him that the car is a better deal than the motorcycle. Finally, they strike a deal with Dave, a 1968 Mercury Cougar for the 1969 Mustang. The team is ecstatic and heads back to the classic car dealership where they swap the Mercury Cougar for a 1968 Camaro SS, which they feel is a better match for their vintage motorcycle.

The show is entertaining as viewers get to see how the two bartering experts use their negotiating skills to clinch the best possible deal for both parties. The show also highlights how crucial it is for buyers to do their homework before engaging in trade transactions.

Overall, Barter Kings season 2 episode 4 is a thrilling episode that showcases the art of bartering and how it can be used to get your hands on prized possessions.
