Author Notes. I am grateful to Alice Boyes and Eva Zellman for interviewing many of the respondents in Studies 1 and 2, to Mandi Miller for first telling me about Bartercard and Tradecard, and to Lisa Hannifin for arranging access to Bartercard records. I am also grateful for a research grant from the Department of Psychology.
