Hello.
I'm looking for someone who goes to TransformersCon (by driving), lives in the USA , has references of some kind*, has a bit of free space to store some packages, and can easily take them to the convention.
*: sufficient reassurance that you can be trusted with things of some value.
As reward, I can offer a small cash tip based on the amount of storage space, keep an eye out for a few things on your wanted list, and give you access to the official TF club store so you can buy previous year's freebies, club store exclusives, or leftover souvenir exclusive sets and convention exclusives.
Please let me know details like the following two:
whether you smoke. (since it will be exposed to it for quite a few months.)
what limits you want to place on space/weight/number of packages/etc.
Now a little about me.
The reason I'm doing this is mostly because in many cases I HAVE no alternative. Many rare items (such as Sam's Club yellow repaint of RID Optimus Prime) are just never available to anyone but US bidders on eBay.
Although sometimes it's just insanely more expensive. UPS and FedEx routinely charge extra fees based on the value of packages, and combine all this with the regular taxes we pay to import goods. No, it's not illegal tax evasion. There are legal limits to duty-free amounts. It's honestly never an issue except for businesses and sending things by mail. Last time I came back with my mom and I claimed I was bringing something like $600 worth of toys back, which I think regardless of what number I'm remembering, was $100 over my limit. I guess it's just not worth the paperwork for $15 of taxes.
I personally have references on eBay

88 all positive feedback, 16 of which I got as a seller. I don't sell that much, or that often.
I'm a recent regular to TF conventions, including TFCon since '06, OTFCC '03 & '04 (what BotCon became and used to be), and BotCon '06, '07, and '08. missed '05 completely. I volunteered at BotCon the past two years.
I'm also a regular of the AllSpark forums. (for over 5 years)
