Here is an opportunity for some enterprising gringo (free and unincumbered access to the border is a must)
Will have to keep it on the sly (Immigration you know)
You know what is said about finding a successful business ....

Done all the time. People even advertise in the local papers. It is illegal but unless you're loaded to the gills I doubt anyone would get
caught. Even if you do you can always bribe someone.
Tell you what would work:
Set up a small bodega just south of the border. Could be a friend's garage. Contract with someone who would go across on a regular basis and buy those
items you can't find. Then send up a truck or van.

Do you remember back in the 80's when the rich Mexicans bought up Coronado Cays and half, or so it seemed, of LaJolla to hide their money.
Seems like things just keep coming around when you are talking about Mexico.
