I was recently in a similar situation. I fellow who is good friends with my Wife's family and knows I like old tractors gave me a Farmall Super M.
Now I didn't feel right just taking it but on the other hand I really couldn't justify spending what it was worth on a tractor at the time. That is if he wasn't giving it to me I really wouldn't have been interested/looking for a SM at that time.
He told me that he would just take some honey in return (I'm a bee keeper), so I countered by saying that as long as I had honey I would keep him stocked.
Now is it a fair deal, I don't know but he seems happy and is getting more then nothing, and I'm happy as I have a rather nice machine that I am at least paying for one way or another.
It is amazing how nice some folks are, I hope I can be in the position to do something similar at some point as well.
In your situation, well I might round that figure off and make sure she's set with venison as long as she wants it.

Standard non-running tractor rules apply as well. I've had a couple of good deals turn into bad ones when I got home as I'm sure as most here have as well.
