What do you think of the idea of a For Sale area on PuritanBoard? This would not be a PuritanBoard run area, merely a forum where members could make their own independent arrangements. Kind of like a "swap sheet."

Please answer the poll and be brief in any repsonses.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

I could be beneficial. It should be left to members only and hidden like some of the other forums.

I would totally dig that idea. Especially for those of us who are in seminary and are looking for books that can't be found anywhere else, plus laptops for doing your class work. I fully support the idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't that open a can of worms? Ebay adjudicates in disputes and polices for fraud... What about disgruntled PBers that are unsatisfied with their purchase... Couldn't general posts and U2U's facilitate the marginal amount commerce that might transpire...

In final appeal -- It's not my PuritanBoard so you guys do whatcha want!

Yes, we should limit the scope of our audience as much as possible when trying to sell something. :P

You're right... Though, I think it should be hidden as PuritanCovenantor earlier suggested, so that commerce would be among the loyal cadre of PB members and not just random people on Internet looking for a market for their cheapwares and suckers... This would probably largely quell any potential for abuse, fraud, etc. It's your call Mr. Moderator... I think the moderators should consider drafting some simple ground rules similar to auction and e-commerce web sites... plus, you've got a lawyer on your staff after all.

Sounds good; the suggestions to hide it.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”

Well of course we wouldn't open to the general public..............

How about the Puritan Gunshop?

The only place to acquire a AR-15 .308 blessed by the Lord!

:bigsmile:

http://www.gunbroker.com/

For the weapons of our warfare aren't carnal...

I think this should receive a post of the week award!

Guns don't kill, people do! I'm all for bearing arms.

Why dont we be men and fight with swords!!!

or Axes!!!!

Blade

I always have the effect of turning anything contemplative, serious-- into a malaise of tongue-in-cheek posts.

How about an Adopt-a-Puritan marketplace? where wealthy eccentric millionaires can make $80,000 deposits into eager young Puritans bank accounts, so that eager young Puritans like myself can complete their graduate and professional studies, and get a doctorate.

or a gallon of gas

We should all stock up on Bibles, Psalters, good books, good guns and good wine and beer!
