Payment in Kind

   Payment in Kind: "When a good or service is used as payment, as opposed to cash"
      < http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/paymentinkind.asp >

   When I was young I worked as a cleaner for my godfather.  One week he didn't
   have any cash to pay me, so he offered me a secondhand racer bike as payment.
   I accepted because I didn't have a bike at the time and wanted one.
