I saw one of these transactions go down a month or so ago in my town (a DC suburb). A somewhat ragged looking woman was lugging a large bottle of tide down the street. Another person waved at her and they approached each other in the middle of a crosswalk. They haggled for a brief moment, the Tide changed hands, and they went on their respective ways. My husband and I were totally confused as to what we'd just seen. Now we know!
