"I doubt you are that naive. Many people have read or heard of reports of consumers being taken advantage of, based on an internet advertisement."

I am in no way naive and didn't make any sort of claim to be so. You are speaking as if I have some sort of completely anonymous google advertisement up asking people to immediately send money for the books. But this is a forum of what I thought of as a group of like-minded believers in Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the World - not the worldwide web with all its sleaze and criminal minded people.

The way I (naively) saw it was that there might be some level of initial trust (apparently not so!) amongst like-minded believers and anybody who might be interested could then make some sort of NO OBLIGATION enquiries - then things MIGHT go from there. Obviously when they are entirely satisfied with proceedings!

Marques said "You still have not said ...."

But I did say plenty more in explanation as to my background which you.....in your suspicious hostility....have largely/entirely ignored.

I did explain why I have not tried to sell the items on a commerce website.........the people on this forum would be the perfect people to inform of this excellent collection!

It is a genuine offer.....if people are not interested, then they will not contact me. If people are not satisfied that I am bona fide, then they will not risk buying the books. Good and simple!

Stop looking for evil.....then you MIGHT be able to see some good - for a change.

Dave in Tenn:
We're all grown-ups here and can make our own minds up.  If anybody wants to take Paul up on his offer, please do so by PM.  I've read a few threads and emails at B-T asking where people might find these and/or other books.  Perhaps this is an answer.  The moderators don't know.    

That said, there is some wisdom in using a site like ebay and I hope Paul would not be averse to making this offer under conditions a buyer might find more comfortable, if requested.      

There's no need to pile on or argue.  I think everything that needed to be said in this thread is said already, so I'm locking it.

No need getting your feathers ruffled Paul. You chose to advertise your product here without any 3rd party assurance, so that will naturally lead to questions of integrity. This is standard dealings in the age of business over the internet.

A membership to this forum cannot be used as a level of trust for your business dealings. I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way.

And a piece of advice: becoming upset when someone questions how you plan on selling your product will make it a tough sell. A seller on the up-and-up will gladly give assurance to any potential buyer, not berate them for not trusting them wholeheartedly.
