Looking for a system that will let me move a switched outlet to another outlet?

Question

ok, here is what i am looking for, i have an outlet on a switch that is in a really bad location, and i am looking for something (without any rewiring, as i live in an apartment) that i could plug into the switched outlet that could detect when the outlet is active, and turn on another outlet using another plugin, such as for a lamp. basically what i am looking for is a "wireless extension cord" (and no i dont mean the ThinkGeek April Fools Day ones, although, if they actually rethunk it, and actually put power to it, it would work-not putting power thru the "air")

Answer 1

I have never heard of anything like you are looking for, a "wireless extension cord".  The only way I can think of that you could do what you're trying to do is to trace the wires from the switch to the outlet and beyond.  It's possible that they are all on the same circuit, and that a 14-3 was run through the outlet box to the rest of the outlets downstream.  It would be best to have an electrician follow the wires to see what you have.  Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
