People message me asking for things I do not stock: a particular malong, prayer mats, dates in Ramadan, halal beef from the stall two doors down, a brass tray a specific size, herbs from the medicine sellers on Carriedo. So I started doing this properly. Send me a list. I walk the market, send you photographs and prices before I buy anything, and you decide. I charge for my time, not a markup on the goods, and I show you what I paid. Two hour minimum, which is realistically what it takes to do it properly. I know these stalls and the sellers know me, which usually means a better price than you would get walking in as a stranger, and it means I can tell you when something is not what it is being sold as. Courier cost on top, at actual cost. I do not do this on Fridays.
