Feb 19, 2014 at 10:34 comment added Annelise So it's mainly an issue of writing. Perhaps (I guess) also of muktzeh.... as both selling and buying would involve handling (acquiring) an object needed only after Shabbos while preparing for another day, unless you bought something for use on the day, which would then not have been prepared (in terms of ownership) beforehand and also muktzeh?
Feb 19, 2014 at 10:26 comment added Annelise cont. "Incidentally, even though acquiring things is normally forbidden, someone who finds an ownerless object on Shabbos may keep it, provided, of course, that he does violate carrying or muktzeh (Pri Megadim, 371:7 in Eishel Avraham; R' Akiva Eiger, glosses to Magen Avraham 339:6; Sdei Chemed Vol. 2 pg. 220). Since there is no buyer and no seller, Chazal were not concerned that he would write anything." (yeshiva.co/midrash/shiur.asp?id=10813)
Feb 19, 2014 at 10:26 comment added Annelise Oh, here Clint- "Chazal... prohibited selling or renting items on Shabbos lest someone record the transaction (Rambam, Hilchos Shabbos 23:12). Similarly, it is prohibited to weigh or measure on Shabbos (Rambam, Hilchos Shabbos 23:13), to marry (Gemara Beitzah 36b), to perform a pidyon haben (Shu"t Rivash #156; Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayim 339:4), or to make financial calculations in one's head (Rambam, Hilchos Shabbos 23:18). All of these are prohibited out of concern that one may forget and jot down some of the information on Shabbos."
Feb 19, 2014 at 2:03 comment added Clint Eastwood I am under the impression that trade in general (even barter) is prohibited because it leads to writing writs and receipts.
