For example, a person wants to start backpacking, and needs to start buying the right gear. They tell a buyer (their personal sales representative), who makes a custom price list for the customer. If the buyer is not an expert in this area, she consults another buyer.
The costomer receives a list of the lowest priced, highest quality items. It also give a quick rundown of the logic behind each item, indicates how long the deals are valid, and advises when items will be priced better at a later time. The buyer could also look for craigslist items in the customer's area, and used items on ebay.
The cost could be a flat rate for larger items, or 5-10% of the total order. Since the buyer saved the customer over 50%, this is a fair offer.
Obviusly this service is good for all kinds of shopping, but hobbies work well because people spend lots of money when they start a new hobby and have no idea where to begin.
