Bureau of Trade with online shopping for boys

14/08/2012

Another good idea, again aimed at men. The Bureau of Trade team, based in the US, search Craiglist and Ebay choosing a theme which they present and email each day to registered users.

Aimed at a very specific market it comes up with items from cars to handkerchiefs and I enjoy their suitable/unsuitable comments as much as the items they select.

Here’s an example below: a bakelite WWII compass and match safe in the current Be a Boy Scout selection. “Suitable for – orgiastic orienteering. Not suitable for – imagining what that would look like”.
