What: Tired of spending long hours on the Web trying to find a reliable mechanic, a cheap ticket to Europe, or an esoteric collectible? Check out IWant.com: A new Web site that changes the way buyers, sellers, and traders connect.

The best parts: This site differs from its cousins in that it's buyer-driven, you may request both goods and services, and you can remain anonymous to sellers. Unlike most auction sites, it doesn't require constant monitoring.

If you are a buyer, simply register on the home page by providing a "name," password, e-mail address, and specification of what you're looking for.

Sellers who respond to "wants" must provide the site with a billing address and credit-card information - which is confidential, but used by the site to verify credibility.

Once a want has been posted, sellers simply review and respond on the site to the most qualified buyer.

What you should know: This site has a few disclaimers: While the service is free now, they may tag on a fee at any time; and they can't guarantee the validity of a buyer or seller.

How to get there: Use the above address, or sit back and let the Work & Money site take you there (www.csmonitor.com/workmoney).

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
