Here is an interesting site that connects people looking for local records with people willing to hunt the records down. Prices are fixed by the researchers, so there seem to be many deals.
It looks like all payment is done online through paypal, which should give some security when paying an official source for documents. Interestingly, many searchers offer a "not found" fee, so you pay less if they can't come up with your record. 
The search lets you choose what type of record you are seeking from different locations around the world. It displays a list of people and what resources they can get access to. Although the search is a bit limited, the database of helpers is still limited enough that the options they have are good enough.We haven't given this site a try yet, but it is inspiring to think this might save us trips across the country to pin down elusive records. Also, it might be an entry point into the world of paid genealogy research. I wonder what resources we can easily get our hands on here in the capitol of GA?
