It's actually a bit worse than that, you can in fact offer nothing and ask for nothing and you will still complete the barter and gain charm experience.

Yeah, I just noticed this the other day myself. I had mistakenly opened a Barter window with a lord, realizing it was the wrong one (was on my way to rescue my wife, planning to trade one of his allies for her). I noticed the Gift button was highlighted when nothing was offered, and clicked it, to see.

Sure enough, it allowed me to "Succeed" in the barter, even though neither side offered anything, and I received several levels of charm from this. I decided to test this, and to my surprise, this worked on every lord I came across, current ally, enemy, or new acquaintance.
