"I want to buy" Service
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 10:45 am
Background
So we all buy many things in our daily lives.
Here I'm not referring to items such as your daily necessities like food or dish washing liquids but more person specific such as electronics, shoes or computer games.
Despite being a car-centric forum, I want to start a thread where you can post up what you want to buy and crucially must include a link to the cheapest place you've found it. This thread is NOT for someone else to
do the hunting for you. I don't want people to use this thread to post:
"I wanna buy an iPhone 4S. Where's the cheapest place?"
At least do some of the leg work yourself, you lazy cretin.
My belief is that if successful, someone else on the forum may want the same thing and if in the same state, you guys could split the cost of shipping or someone here may know a cheaper place to get it. Every little bit helps. There might also be cases where others use google alot better than yourself and save you some coin.
ALSO this is not a place to comment about other people's choices of things.
If you want to discuss the person's choice, pm them privately.
OK, let's see how this goes.
How this works
Your post should take the following format:
ITEM: Description or even URL link to item page
Lowest Price Location: *Enter URL here or physical shop name/address*
Buyer State: *Your state to let others know if you can group ship with them*
So following the first post, the next person who wants the same item simply quotes the post in their own post and adds on their details.
This will align as many of you together to get some form of group buy.
Obviously if >10 of us wan the same thing, I can explore doing a group buy for the club.
