Another player-wanting to craft for income and with the skills checks the want list for bonecraft synthesis wants-or a player just wishing to sell the ones he has sees it in the HTH Weapon wants- and sees my name. He uses a message (not the tell function) to offer to synth them for $x. When I see his message, I can reply and arrange to either meet, or deposit the funds in the BB's delivery box. When the crafter deposits the Tigerfangs, the funds are transferred to him and the item deliverred to me.

For drop items the system would be similar, but you would have to scroll through the AH Categories, like Miscelaneous|Automaton to sell a drum magazine. the same message|delivery system could be used.

There could also be a Help Wanted section where you post a need. For example, "Recruiting players for Regular Assault Static, Sunday @ 3:00 pm EDT & Wednesday @ 8:00 p.m. EDT, 2/6". Sorted by Recurring or Single event, and with a seperate section for just postings (Social LS currently recruiting quality people, level 1 and up, must have sense of humor).
So is what you want instead is a reverse AH. People put up the funds on a wanted item and individuals could sell it to AH for delivery.
