Purchase from Amazon and support Paranormal Research
« on: July 14, 2007, 06:12:40 PM »
Hi everyone,
A quick poll. We are looking at some fund raising initiatives for the team. Equipment is so expensive and we are self funded except for any fundraising we do. One we are considering is the ability for people on this site to buy ghost hunting products, books, dvd's etc through Amazon from here with us getting a small percentage of the sales.
The question is would you personally support it by purchasing your paranormal related goods through here and Amazon?
Thanks
Christine

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

absolutely..we have nowhere in our local area to buy this sort of stuff, and if I have to buy online I'd be happy to do it this way..janine

One day my light went out, but was blown again into flame by an encounter with some wonderful people I call friends. I owe the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light...

This would be a great idea Christine, because alot of the bookshops around by me do not carry a large range of these sorts of things.

I would most definitely support it.  It'd be great to find everything in one place. I currently buy mostly online these days as I've exhausted all the resources here!!!


Thumps up!

By far the most usual way of handling phenomena so novel that they would make for a serious rearrangement of our preconceptions is to ignore them altogether, or to abuse those who bear witness to them.

I forgot to comment after I voted, yes this is a great idea.

Plus it would be fun if people could tell us what they bought if appropriate, as it could broaden out potential reading/interest list.

Look for the light in everyone you meet.
You may be the only person that ever sees it.

Here you go...I have made categories etc for some key stuff but anything can be purchased.

Initially we get 4% and after some sales that goes to 6% then 7%.

Please check out the front page of the forum for the link to our Amazon Shop.

http://www.paranormal.com.au/public/index.php

Alternately you can go there direct to http://astore.amazon.com/paranoandspoo-20/105-5809782-7168446

Let me know if there is anything you would like on the featured items lists.

Thanks for all your support!

If there is a product you would ike but can't see on our particular store sight you can check if Amazon have it and PM me with the title and author. I can then add it to our store so you can buy it through us.
Thanks
