FReeper Marketplace? Going Galt the Right Way.
my brain | 11/09/2012 | rmdupree

Posted on 11/09/2012 5:44:02 AM PST by RMDupree

What do you all think of having JR post a FReeper Marketplace on the Home Page?

FReeper business owners could pay JR a fee (which would help with the FReepathons) and at the same time, we could choose to do business with other like-minded folks.

If you own a business, this would be a good way to advertise and get the kind of customers you really want to serve. And I, as a consumer, would know that my money is going to support a FReeper and not some Obama drone.

Another positive to this would be that if things do get bad, or if we want to "go Galt", bartering could also be an effective method of payment.

I'm all about networking at this point since I believe we need to lean on each other more than ever at this point and try to do ZERO business with anyone who supported Obama.

What say you?

I am concerned that trolls would get wind of this and try to either participate in it or trash us.

I kind of like the anonymity of this forum

Points well made.

I hope JR sticks to his principles!

Exactly.

One bright note is that Mark Levin has been ripping Boehner to shreds on his radio program. I think Levin isn't going to rest until Boner is gone!

LOL! Good question!

I’ve never really gotten over seeing Jim as the “Great and Powerful Oz” so I don’t have the guts to bother him with an idea unless it has its own traction first.

Why are you so concerned that he didn’t? What’s the big deal? You strike me as a ‘brown-noser.”

Around february I will be arriving in Australia, planned visit will be up to a year but I may just fade into the bush. I already have mates who know how to integrate me into the workforce through the governments work visa programs or to skate around the rules. If neccesary fade ID can be procured, ironic that I am thinking of becoming an illegal alien in Australia because America wants to become a third world superpower.

There doesn’t have to be a charge...I was just thinking out loud via keyboard.

Craigslist is free. A FReeper version of it could be too!

I’d think that folks who benefit from the service would contribute to the FReepathons as a thank you. Purely voluntary of course.

I'm all for anything that starves the beast of revenue.

Ditto. Next time you need something fixed, or need something replaced, try traiding goods or services first. You'll be surprised how many times people will agree to trade favors.

For example, you may need a mower fixed. For the mechanic, it's free. To you, it could mean serious cash. BUT, what if you were, say, a tax accountant. You could offer to do his taxes this year in exchange for mower repairs. The tax preparation for you is free, but to the other guy it's serious cash.
Everyone wins but the democrat freeloaders. They don't get their "fair share."

Plus, now is not the time to buy anything. Go Operation Frugal. Starve that beast. (You don't need anymore junk anyway. Use what you have. )

So instead you try to build interest in something he may not accept at all?

Thanks. I wish Jim Rob would post a (large visible) link on the home page directing Freepers who are conservative leaning and liberal leaning companies and corporations. I know I would visit that one frequently.

I’m back up to two weeks of canned food. I’d like to bring that back up to a month then I’ll worry about filling up the car and the extra gas cans.

heard Levin last night, he and Laura are the only ones I have much time for anymore.

Not seen how Allen West is doing but heard he was up last night, if he wins then he should take that position.

Isn;t it sad that the left knows our side are cowards and if anyone like West does speak up or post a treat like Mia Love in UT who als got robbed then the left uses their media ot attack, make fun, call names and then pressures that person to back down or be defeated.

if we ever want this republic back we have to fight back and take the media on as well.

2012 was it, they had 4 years of prepping for this election fraud and boy did they do it well and now our side shuts up

I think your idea is super, and hope it doesn’t interfere with any tax status things, which is why I thought of running it by Jim first.

If it’s a no-go with Jim, perhaps another tech savvy FReeper would set up a FReeplist website themselves.

I doubt JR is going to cut my head off for sharing an idea.

At this point, I am all for it. If you can’t beat them, join them.

When you dance with the devil, you get burnt.

Once you become the property of the U.S. government, you may never be able to escape.

just a list which freepers put forward would work very well.

Amazon
homo depot
GE
GM
JC Penny
carbonate
ban the CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NPR,PBS news

call their sponsors and say we’re boycotting them
just something like that and then a business which is more to our side like
Chic -fil a
hobby lobby .

The left does this all the time, they went all out against Beck so why not do the same

Not if we treat it like a FReeper-version of craigslist.

I don’t see the IRS chasing after folks selling goods and services for online classified ads

Your question was valid and I thought about the tax implication as well.

I simply don’t know if online classified ads would be a taxable service. We need a FReeper CPA to answer that question. :-)
