Barter markets in everything, insurance markets price discrimination edition

Here is the offer:

We are offering you the unique chance to re-instate the value of
certain US and Canadian Stocks. For selected stocks, TLH Heliskiing and
Last Frontier Heliskiing will accept up to a maximum of $10,000 in
stock per person to be accepted as payment for their heliski trip. The
value of this stock will NOT be calculated at today’s price but at the
price on 01-July-2008. Stocks must be transferred to TLH Heliskiing and
Last Frontier Heliskiing using our preferred broker.

I thank Patrick Hidalgo for the pointer.
