Hi, I am located near Sacramento CA and could use some assistance around the Las Vegas NV area. I understand time/gas/effort involved and will compensate.

Thanks,

Anyone in the Worcester, Massachusetts area? There's a Fuji Titanium with Dura Ace on CraigsList that I would love to get my hands on, but there's little chance of that from Dublin Ireland... I've already contacted a local shop who will package it, and I'd arrange shipment.

Germany? Any facilitators in Germany?

I saw this asked a while back but no response, so thought I'd try posting. I don't have a specific bike yet, but know I will be buying one off the auction site in germany here soon but all the past sellers I've contacted won't do US shipping.

I can help to facilitate in the Raleigh/Fayetteville/Greensboro area of NC.

EDIT: I have moved, and now I am all over the US (different place every 13 weeks.). I will keep tabs on the need facilitating thread, and if I can help out, I will.

I just want to say that PeregrineA1 in California did a great job facilitating a recent bike purchase I made on eBay. The Seller in Orange Co. California only wanted local pick-up and didn't want to box or ship the bike. I live in Michigan, so this presented a problem for me. I searched this thread for help and found PeregrineA1 volunteered to facilitate transactions in the Seller's area. I contacted him and he agreed to help me. PeregrineA1 picked up the bike from the Seller, boxed it, and sent it to me. I paid the Seller in advance of the pick-up and also bought a Bike Flight ticket for the one-way shipping. The transaction was relatively complex, but PeregrineA1 made it possible.

Well look who it is, long assumed dead I'm sure...good thing seven years hasn't passed it might have been officially declared!

If I have a little time here soon I'll try to go through the thread and update the first page with those who have since offered help and try to nix those who aren't on the site anymore.

Alternatively, if someone else has been keeping a list I can start from PM me and I can use that as a starting point.

Cheers!

Contact me for help in the Eugene/Springfield Oregon area.

I am mostly car-free, so a little limited in range. And, the city isn't too large. However, this is a good place to hunt for Bike Friday bicycles.

https://eugene.craigslist.org/search...ry=bike+friday

Also vintage Burleys (Tandems/Recumbents), although I have no idea how to ship a tandem
https://eugene.craigslist.org/search/bia?query=burley

Portland ads are a little far for me, although I do go up there periodically, so if there is something that has been relisted a few times and isn't selling, perhaps the sellers will be willing to talk.

Thank you! But when I contacted the seller it turned out to be an old ad that hadn't been taken down. The bike was sold.
