Tell us what you would like to see on Mumsnet Co-Buying

Mumsnet Co-Buying has launched this week. It works as follows: say lots of Mumsnetters want the same product - could be chocolate or cosmetics, could be gadgets or sports gear - then with Mumsnet Co-Buying the more of you who buy it, the cheaper the price becomes. In partnership with BuyaPowa, we'll feature different products each week. There will be a limited number of each product and each offer will last for a limited amount of time. For more information click here.
So we'd like to know what you'd like to see featured on Mumsnet Co-Buying.
Tell us here and we'll do our best to get the products you want.

What a brilliant plan.

I would be interested in

posh bed linen
posh make up
L'artisan parfumeur perfume (especially the fig and violet ones; I realise this is rather a specific request but they are bloody expensive)
nice towels
hard anodised non-stick pans (esp the Raymond Blanc ones)
Sylvanian Sodding Families
craft supplies for children
kitchen stuff generally, nice utensils (Joseph Joseph particularly welcome), scales, food processors, stuff like that
enamelware
craft stuff for grown ups - yarn, fabric bundles, haberdashery (haha)

SeenButNotHeard · 29/02/2012 19:35

Frizz Ease products
Theme Park Tickets
Cinema Tickets
Theatre Tickets
Ipad (hopeful)
Kitchen equipment - Mixers, kettles, toasters etc
Latest kids toys (light sabre would go down well here)
Bikes
Perfume
Camping gear

I am in for choc (obviously after Lent Wink)
But generally, it needs to be a brand I recognise, with the potential to be cheaper than Amazon.

dermalogica daily microfoliant would be nice.

TheSkiingGardener · 29/02/2012 18:49

Hotel chocolate stuff
Kenwood Prospero
Meat boxes from Laverstoke Farm or similar
Cheese boxes from Pong
Duplo/Lego boxes
Tickets to places like the Watercress Line Steam Railway

Sounds like a good idea and I'll keep an eye out for what's on offer.

mumatron · 29/02/2012 18:30

Kitchen aid please.

Preferably boysenberry ones.

apart from that I would probably be most interested in boring household items. mops, linen, table ware etc.

randommoment · 29/02/2012 18:18

Not a Kindle as local library doesn't intend to stock loans for it, but will for other e-readers. Maybe Ipad?
Nappies - no longer needed by me but I can remember that far back!
Lego definitely!
Won't be getting the chocolate as G and B is now part of one of the dodgy multinationals, will be sticking to Co-Op for my fairtrade goodies.

Sockspence · 29/02/2012 18:06

I'm in for the chocs. For research purposes, y'know.

I'd like to see items like vair good linen or towel sets. Would also love to see items from skincare brands like Elemis and Dermalogica.

heronsfly · 29/02/2012 17:48

Good make up please !

JoannaLumpy · 29/02/2012 17:35

newly released DVDs please

stressheaderic · 29/02/2012 16:40

My suggestions:

Boxes of nappies
Kindle
Childrens toys and books
Make-up

DanJARMouse · 29/02/2012 16:05

Lego for definite!

netbook · 29/02/2012 16:01

lego and ipads please!

LaVitaBellissima · 29/02/2012 15:22

Delivery to Ireland !!!

FruitShootsAndHeaves · 29/02/2012 14:45

Me too for the loft conversion and I'll need a garden shed too please to store all the junk antiques from the loft.

I'm to ugly to bother with make up / beauty products and I'm trying to stay off the chocolate so some necessities (not bear ones Grin) that I need but don't necessarily like using!

like mops
and vacuums
and irons
and cat piss remover (sorry bad day!)

or nice stuff like books
or computer software
and Lamborghini's

QED · 29/02/2012 14:23

Thank you - might go ahead and do it then :)

TinyPawz · 29/02/2012 14:12

Mixed Chicks hair products (I swear they'll bankrupt me, one day)

QED - We asked the people at Buyapowa and they say:

"We do not take any money from your bank or PayPal account until the co-buy has closed. When you join a co-buy, your bank or PayPal will authorise your credit or debit card for the current price. This amount is ring-fenced (reserved) until the end of the co-buy, at which point, your account will be settled for the closing price."

TisPityShesAWhore · 29/02/2012 14:00

Diamonds

and puppies.

I can't think of anything else I want.

QED · 29/02/2012 13:59

If you do paypal (am still thinking about this) does it take the full amount straight away (ie at the moment it says £5) or does it wait until the end. I started doing it and got to the paypal part but it said £5 and looked like I was about to make a paypal payment for that much.

Hullygully · 29/02/2012 13:58

I would like a larger house and a little light plastic surgery, please.

Thanks for all of your comments so far - this is a trial to see how well it goes so it's really useful to have your feedback so we can make it better

Maryz - it is free p&p and you can hide your name from the leaderboard. Sorry that it's UK only - again we'll work on making that more prominent

DottyDot - sorry you found it unclear, we'll look at that. However you do have to put your payment card details in before it's actually bought - so please don't be worried about clicking just for info

ItsAllGoingToBeFine - I'll get it stickied now
