So, my wife and I are looking for a certain toy for our daughter for either her December birthday or Christmas. I figured that many of us are parents and might need help finding the one unicorn out kid is really pining for. So, thought I'd try to bring the community to bear and see if we might be able to help each other.
The way I'd suggest this is for it to be kind of like a reverse Craig's List. A member would post what country they're in, the item, a link to the company's website, and how much they'd be willing to pay (currency, range & whether that includes shipping or not).
Ex:
Country: United States
Item: FurReal Friends Torch
Website: http://www.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/furrealfriends
Currency: US $
Price: $100-120
Shipping: included in price
Notes: if any
The idea would be to help people out and not make money, so if you can buy the above item for $90 and shipping is $10, don't ask the poster for $120 because they'd be willing to pay that.
I don't know if this will get legs, nor do I know if the rest of the mods will let this post stay, but I figured I'd give it a try. And if it does take off, it could be used year-round for other events (birthdays, graduations, etc.).
That's it, simple idea I'd like to try out. I figured with is pooling resources from multiple countries we might be able to help each other out.
