In response to patja's comment, I a) don't like doing cash business with my friends and b) rarely will ask enough to make it worth my time.
Say my friend needs help fixing her bike, something I know how to do. She puts the call out and I volunteer. How much do I ask for? $20? $30? Not really life-changing sums, and getting much more than that makes it awkward. This is why that the currency for bike nerds is 6-packs.
What would be a lot more interesting for me is skill swapping: I'd be happy to teach someone to fix their bike if they gave me help learning the guitar. Then not only do I learn a new skill (which is worth a lot more than $20), I get to spend more time with a friend (or associate, or stranger).
Consider the value exchange that's going to take place between your users, and I think it gets a lot more compelling.
And I'm not really feeling the name either, I also thought of the Grapist.
