Got this idea from another board....in order for it to work you would need fairly broad ISO lists, but I think it would be great fun, kind of like a treasure hunt, I always love raiding the thrift/consignment stores or yard sales, and always find neat stuff that I can't use, but I'm sure someone could... So you would post your very broad ISO list, and I might possibly ask you to fill out a general questionaire of likes/dislikes also, then we match up (pretty randomly since you never know what might be at your local store..) and go hunting for items.


OK~~those interested let's get some ISO's posted by April 3rd, I will post matchups by the 5th and send out by the 15th? (Tax day!!!)

Here is a questionaire to fill out and post along w/your ISO's

(Let me know if I should add anything to the list) The point is to try to think of a wide variety of things you might like, since you never know what you might find at the stores/sales....like I might find a really cool vintage radio that I would normally pass on, but if it's on your list I would remember that and snag it for you! :)
