I am wondering if it is allowed and/or ethical for demos of different co.'s to exchange discounts? Hopefully, this query will not ruffle any feathers, as I honestly don't know the answer to this.
I would advise that both parties involved in the exchange to verify what's allowed within their respective contracts with the companies. Some companies may allow it and others may not.

I am not a demo anymore but I don't see what is wrong with it. It's your business and if you choose to not have any profit, I don't see what the company should have to say about it.

The other consideration that both of you would have to make, in addition to determining whether you could do so in the terms of your company's contract and his/hers, is how to ensure fairness.
For example, let's say for example that I had a sister who is a consultant with a cosmetic company (I have a sister but she's not a consultant for any company) and I'm an SU! demo. Now assuming that I am willing to give up my instant income, we would have to work out how often, how much, what value, etc. of her product I would have to order as compared to how often, yadda yadda, she would order product from me. So if I decided I hated the makeup and she was getting my discount all the time, that would be an issue. Or if I were ordering scads of makeup and she decided she didn't like to stamp, it would be hard to keep it equitable.
HTH,
