I had two winter vacation home improvement projects. One is completed, the other is taking a little longer than I thought. The incomplete project is to attach some sort of basket to the back of the garage door to catch the mail so we don’t run it over and to prevent letters, etc. from sitting on the garage floor when it’s wet. I started looking for a pre-made product (my past attempts at fabrication for other projects have been less than stellar). After a short time on the Google, I find it! The perfect solution, even better than what I was imagining. It’s a basket large enough to hold all the periodicals we subscribe to, even if we are out of town for a few days. It’s attached to the door so that nothing will spill out when the door is opened. The only problem: across the top of the web page is the message “SORRY, DISCONTINUED. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.” I can’t find anywhere else that sells it, similar products are either too small, too expensive, or in the UK. An email to the info address on the page produces an automated response that says “Thank you for inquiring into Bright Hardware products. We are not currently offering a retail product.” Damn.
So, two questions:
[ol]
[li]Has this happened to anyone else, where you find the perfect product but can’t get your hands on it? [/li][li]Does anyone have one of these they are willing to part with for a reasonable price? :rolleyes:[/li][/ol]
