The contact a local for help thread.

**port187** · 04-13-2010

I thought it would be handy to have such a thread were people offer to help with buying/selling stuff in their country as I see many loose requests for it.

Me: I can help you with buying/selling in the Netherlands or translating/communication with Dutch sellers/buyers.

The main local ebay is: www.marktplaats.nl

If you want to help your fellow forum members out in your own country list your location and maybe your local auction/second hand website which can be handy too.
Don't you just hate it on ebay, item for sale for a great price but local shipping only? maybe your fellow members here can help you out ;)

QUICK GUIDE:

I can't make up the rules for everybody, but at least this guideline which I think are fair:

-Active members preferred! as in at least 50 posts, so contribute to this forum/or helped somebody else. This is not a rule but a guideline, if you are not active you can always try! it's up to the helper if you get help.

-This is not an AG service, it's actually a lot of work to help somebody else so have some RESPECT!
-If somebody helped you, it would be appriciated if you list your name next so you can contribute back by helping somebody else.

-Help is a great thing but not a right, DON'T GET INSULTED if somebody doesn't reply or help you.
-If you don't get a reply/help from somebody here DO NOT POST negative feedback just for that! just look for somebody else!

-Make sure your request for help is WORTHWHILE, don't bother people for something you can get anywhere/small etc.
-Usually contacting the persons below directly by PM works better then posting in this thread, not everybody reads the updates here!
-If somebody helps you please leave some POSITIVE FEEDBACK! to show your appriciation.
-Click on the names below to directly go to their profile and PM them

**alphagamer** · 04-14-2010

If someone needs help from a German... oh... late to the party :-)

Anyway, if for whatever reason everybody else is busy, I will gladly help a fellow member out!

How about a list with locations complete with links to member profiles in the first post?

**port187** · 04-15-2010

No asians?

**tzeman** · 04-15-2010

Great. Some people here helped me before. From Japan and England and USA. I help help someone ship Hainanese Chicken Rice mix before. i forgot who was that but i send 6 bottles over. :)

So long is legal,legit. I'll be glad to help out. Im located in Singapore - Asia.

**Bramsworth** · 04-15-2010

tzeman, by chance do you ever come across Megadrive pirates over there? I know Singapore is supposed to have a lot of them.

Though you said you only want legit... :P

**tzeman** · 04-16-2010

Sometomes u see them in flea marts. Even originals are dirt cheap coz the people here probably buy new stuff and abandon them like they are junk. Retail shops nope, they clam down hard on these. Recently the anti pirates are catching these sellers. But i suppose private owners will sell them. Maybe try Malaysia..
