Need help from Belgium

Hello everyone,

EDIT : Solution found: a guy is already on it and helping me out!

I am Belgian.

For the past few months, I have been on a very special quest: to collect all the existing translations of the first Harry Potter book. I have now 57 translations.

Every search brings me to new people who help me with my quest, and it is really nice. Recently, I was able to get copies from Kazakhstan, and soon from Armenia, all thanks to the Reddit community. The World Wide Web is so POWERFUL !!

Luckily, I do not always need to ask for help, but I have to admit that, here in Western Europe, finding an older Lithuanian edition of Harry Potter, in good condition and with a hardcover, is really difficult.

Like this one for example :

I have searched for a long time, and I have found that the only place where there are many second-hand copies is Vinted.

Unfortunately, your Vinted is not connected to our Vinted network, so I cannot order from Lithuania from Belgium.

So I am looking for someone who would be willing to become my “Lithuanian Chosen One” 🇱🇹⚡ and help me add this language to my collection.

Basically, you would only need to order several books on Vinted, receive them at your home over the next few weeks, put them together, and then send them to Belgium. There could be 4 or 5 packages from different sellers.

Of course, I will pay for the books, the delivery costs to you, and the final shipping costs to Belgium.

In return, you will have the satisfaction of helping with a rather unusual quest 😄 And these books will also tell a second story: the quest to get the books !

If anyone would like to help, please send me a private message!

Thank you very much in advance to whoever volunteers for this mission. 🙏📚

Have a nice evening :)

Here's my 57 translations's collection:

What an incredible website! It’s a real treasure trove for a collector from Western Europe! I’ll see if I can get in touch with one or two of them if I can’t find it a Vintee user here.
