;D Now I know we all live like a zillion miles away from each other, but it might be a dam idea to get a sell it here board going, what-do-ya-say guys huh maybe. I also know there’s a million boards out there doing exactly the same thing and you could just dump it there but we at least know each other well most of us do anyway, I for one know only a few of you ;D Also putting up a board where we can help each other get things that are not available here in China or just not available in the district or province we are in. Being the new guy, I really haven't looked around much!

Book swap was great. Con gave me Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and I got a few good reads from Woza and Eileen. Bless them.

I like the idea of a "Sell It Here" area.

yeah, not a bad idea. if it is worth it to someone plus postage, then it works. Could even include books, or other things.
For example, I have a bunch of secret footage from the Suzhou 'conference' taken by micro cams placed strategically. Any bidders?

I like the offer, especially since you have the ink running nicely, and the blurred printing is a masterpiece, especially using recycled toilet paper like that. But I am sure that someone who was actually there will make a better offer.

i love the idea. The most difficult part of setting up this kind of thing is trust but quite a number of us know each other here which does help a lot.

Once the trust has been established with small things, this kind of network can be very helpful when someone changes jobs. We could send our luggage by post to someone we trust in the new city rather than lugging it around or sending it to a new school where you don't know what they will do with it.

A For Sale/Available for Sale thread would be simple. Are you sure we'd really use it as an ongoing thing? There's never been any reason why you couldn't post and offer a personal item for sale...but I've never seen it happen.
I think we tried a "Where Can I Buy..." thread some time ago and it withered on the vine. But we are bigger now...

maybe something like the job forum - where to buy, for sale, etc in the one place. What is it called in China, don't buy this, etc.
Could be a help.

The main reason that I suggested this was because I have a whole load of StarTrek and StarGate TV series on VCD Discs and wondered if anyone would like to watch them Not because of someone fetish for dirty nickers but if she just wore them and there still hot post them here priority post

Sorry Jems, if you would have any GOOD shows then maybe I'd consider watching VCDs but Star Trek and Stargate??

He's got to be in one of the other Suzhous, or Raoul would have taken him to his great DVD shop, and he'd know that everything worth watching is easily available here.
