Scadian in Chinese markets, will keep an eye out for any stuff you want

This is a cross post off the SGDisscuss list, with Maximillian's permission.

I think he is very generous extending his offer to cosplayers he does not know.

His Email is will@paradise.gen.nz

For your info CF = Canterbury Faire in Waipara in Canterbury in late jan. So not sure, but I think basically he is able to get stuff to Auckland and also to Christchurch. Not sure where he lives. You will have to ask about this.

Basically he will be going to the markets in Shanghai, and will keep an eye out for stuff that people want. Sounds like he will charge a pretty small fee for anything you buy. So obviously fabrics (eg. Silk), but anything else Chinese? He does make the note that he is not an expert in Fabrics or lots of other stuff. So you will get a photo, and he will do his best to get what you want. But the usual disclaimers in this type of situation apply.

Repeating an offer that I made to another list.

I'm in China at present, and will be back in NZ mid december, I or someone else can be at CF to give stuff to people, and I'll be passing through Auckland airport on my way back into NZ.

Anyway, is there anything in particular people want me to hunt for? Other than, obviously, silk? Due to liquidity problems at my end how this will probably work is I do some leg work, get pictures and some form of quote, people confirm its what they want, and transfer me some money.
I mostly offer this due to the knowledge that I can probably get access to stuff that's hard for other people to source, due to being in China and all. I'd probably look to skim a small profit, but y'know, service.

Hopefully people are willing to take my word that I'm trustworthy, but I'm sure if you don't know me, various local gentles can vouch for me.

Yours in Service,
Maximillian-of-Southron-Gaard.
(Currently in Shanghai.)

Additional email;

Ah, sorry, when I think of Cosplayers my mind jumps to Mina.

Might be worth pointing out that I could probably grab an anime series, if there's something that's exceptionally hard to find elsewhere, though I ive no guarantees there either.

And I could check if the geek mall nearish my house will let me take photos of their stock. There's a truly large array of Gundam Death Note, One Piece and various other anime stuff for sale around here.
