Default Member "Staging Lots" ??

Ok, a few of us were talking about the logistics of this stuff we call a hobby (addiction?). And I was wondering about the possibility of members volunteering their services for "staging lots".

Say, for example, a member from MI won a GL auction in the Midwest (now who could that be?) and had the 14 days to move said lot. The "staging lot" member could retrieve the lot or just receive the lot and hold it until shipping could be arranged.

Or, if a "staging lot" member was a mid-way point in the shipping route, the stuff could be staged there until the member could come get it.

An example: I recently picked up a trailer of mine from Ft. McCoy. While there, I retrieved a pallet of stuff for a Southwest member. Well, our MI friend needs some things moved from the Southwest. If our Southwest member and our MI member get together and work out a deal on the shipping to my place, I could stage the MI stuff here until our Northern friend could come get it. The St. Louis area is a lot closer than Utah.

A lot of us already do this, but it takes some digging to find out who has the space/facilities to do this kind of thing. I was thinking of a way to show it on the member map. Kinda like an assistance member.

I don't know if I'm getting the correct thoughts out there. With shipping and fuel costs what they are, and the 14 day thing with GL, sometimes we need all the help we can get.

Some feedback?
