I've noticed several threads in Trader Support about people wanting to leave feedback, but not remembering who they owe it to.  However, I'm sure there are many more who never think to start such a thread! 

What I'm curious about is how do you keep track of who you owe feedback to? What are your tips and tricks for sales organization?

I have my own method, but it's somewhat flawed and I would love to hear what everyone else does!

The Pony Finder Service is an idea I"ve had rattling around in my head for about a year now.  I finally sat down today and actually got the details worked out!  I still have to code the pages and get it uploaded to my website, but here are the basics. 
 
I'd really appreciate any tips for improvements or critiques!
 
What is the PFS?

The Pony Finder Service (PFS) is designed to help you find the ponies or pony items that currently elude you. It is open to anyone world wide. Approximately once a month, I make a trip into the big city and hit every store that carries ponies on the way.  In general, this is about 100 miles of pony hunting and approximately 30 stores.  Chances are, I can track down whatever it is you are looking for.

How do I place an order?

You can either fill out this form (link forthcoming) or e-mail me directly(link forthcoming).  I will then get back to you and let you know if I can hunt for your item or not. Some items, such as Fashion Style Applejack, are no longer in production and can’t be found.  Others are too new and haven’t made it to my area. Either way, I will let you know if it’s something I think I can find.

What does it cost?

For a mere $3, plus the cost of your item and shipping, you get a whole day of my time to find whatever it is you want. The $3 is non-refundable and helps pay for gas during my search. Add $1 for each additional item.

How do I pay you?

After I confirm that I can search for your item, I will send you three payment requests through PayPal. The first is for $3 to be sent as a gift/donation; this is the non-refundable searching fee.  The second is for half of your item so I can pay for it when I find it.  The last request will contain the last half of your payment and the shipping costs; this will be made after I have your item in hand and ready to go.

How do I get my pony/item?

I will ship it to you within 48 hours of receiving the last payment.  If you live close enough to me, we can arrange a local pickup and the nearest Toys’r’us, local restaurant, or library.

Are there any restrictions?

Not many! The items have to be currently available, obviously.  I can’t guarantee that I can track down something from last year.  Items also have to be found within the USA.  I’m lucky at finding ponies, but I can’t travel overseas just to pony hunt!  Finally, I can’t ship to Italy due to Italian import restrictions.

What if you can’t find my pony?

You get a refund! I’m not going to keep your money if I can’t find what you’re looking for. The only bit I keep is the $3 non-refundable searching fee.

Like many of us here, I have a pony on my desk at work. I like to rotate out the pony to match the seasons and the current one is Snowcatcher. I work in the repair portion of a car dealership, so I'm pretty much surrounded by "tough" guys.  They find the ponies very odd and don't quite understand them.  THey tease me all the time.
 
Well, I had the day off work yesterday. This is what I came in to discover.

Did the ponies do it because they can't stand the car fumes?  Or was it more insideous means?

I think I'm the first one in the Valentines Swap to get a package!  So, here we go, Brag Time!

I was home all day and the mailman never even knocked on the door to let me know I had a box.  Hubby found it on the porch when he left to get some groceries.  I, of course, stayed home and had fun opening everything.

Once I got the box open, I discovered....

Check out that adorable card!  And look at those pretty dragonfly stickers    The card let me know that my package came from the marvelous Mercynova.  She totally spoiled me!  Since there wasn't anything telling me to open packages in a certain order, I grabbed the one in the bottom right of the photo and found...

This is the prettiest Chief I've ever seen!  And that ribbon in his tail is awesome=)  He's sitting on my desk right now, guarding my other presents.

Next up was:

Next up was a small package.

Eeh!  Rainbow Flash Blind Bag!  She's so much more purple in real life than I expected.  And that means I like her all the more

Next up was tea.  I'm drinking it right now.  This stuff is great!  Nice and fruity without any bitterness at all. I'm going to have this as my morning tea and try to make it last the whole month

Mercynova, HOW DID YOU KNOW? I've been looking at the thrift shop for something that would suffice as a tea bag drip tray for the past month! I like to let me tea bags dry out when I'm at work so I can take them home and compost them.

Item number 7 we'll save for the end, because the results were so much fun =)

Number 8 was the Fluttershy Nursery:

I think this one has lighter hair than the US versions.  Look at those cute little critters... This isn't staying in the box for long!  Or, maybe it will.  Easier to dust... Gah, I'm so torn!

These smelled so good before I even opened them.  Hubby keeps coming in and stealing "one more."

Here's a photo of everything opened. Of course, we had a photo bomb.  That's to be expected, considering what the last item was...

The last item, actually the 7th I opened, was treats for Misty!

She was trying to get these way before I even had the package open!  Misty highly approves and says thank you.  We made a video so you can see how much she enjoys them =)

THANK YOU MERCYNOVA!!!!!  You totally spoiled me silly and I love absolutely everything.

So, about an hour ago, I was helping this customer at work.  She was chatting with one of the sales reps and apologized for ignoring me.  I told her not to worry, I was just sitting here admiring her earrings.  She smiled, pulled them out, and gave them to me! They perfectly match my outfit today and are so my style.

I'm still giddy/giggly over this. I have seriously never had anything like this happen to me before!
 
So, have you had anything so nice/random happen to you?  Share your stories!
