I've been hit a few times with people wanting me to pick up sets for deals • I
found specific to my geographic location.

I have had this happen, though not very often.

   Likewise.  However, usually when posting about a sale or a
   clearance find I will specifically say whether or not I will
   buy things by proxy--and my mind is usually working on a
   basis of economics, although if I know someone (or if they've
   done me the favour before) I will often go out of my way.
   Although I have also expressed a broad wish publicly asking
   for a proxy buyer before and someone (wonder who :) ) was
   extremely kind and offered to do it for me.

A better way would be for someone to post a message here that they were
wanting a particular sale and let people email the person. I have emailed
several people looking for someone to buy them sets, in general I feel more
inclined to help them out when THEY "beg" on LUGNET.

   This is true!  See above.  :) (I hope my PayPal got through OK--
   my email was down for a few days.)  My nascent air force thanks
   you!

I post deals that I find as payback to all the posters that have illuminated
me about a particular sale.

   It's all about reciprocity and general kindness for me--there's
   never any reason, EVER, to be angry and rude because a stranger
   won't or can't do you a favour, and I feel badly that Brad had
   to deal with such a thing.

   best

   Lindsay
