"I look forward to your posts. Most other bloggers are boring as hell - either rant about frummies or some other crap. You're different. Sometimes ehem, slightly ditzy - but otherwise an entertaining read."

"[Material Maidel is] the first blog I've read that takes issues most people feel strongly about, and rather than bash society for the way we are, like most do, presenting certain situations and issues in a more entertaining light gets the criticism out there in a non-critical way."

While I am not a rabbi, it seems to me that this cannot possibly be valid, as there is no way to make a kinyan (halachically acceptable transfer of rights).
In addition, selling the vessels themselves would mean that all your vessels and utensils would have to be put in the mikvah after Pesach, having been owned by a non-Jew on Pesach.
Whilst you are not a Rabbi...maybe find out forsure before you go paskaning things.
Um, which part of "it seems to me" did you have trouble with?
As far as my point about re-toiveling the keilim, I have heard that from a Rov.
Rabbi Mintz from Oorah also does online. Perfectly legit.
huh? who puts dishes in the mikvah after Pesach?
Missed the part about the toiveling. Have never heard about it either not from my Rabbi or from any publications or online sources.
I call shenanigans.
I will try again.
Regarding the on-line sale of chametz, all I said was, "it seems to me ..." If someone can point me in the direction of a mainstream source that says a kinyan is not necessary (or that an on-line sale works), I would very much appreciate it.
Regarding the tevillah, what I said was, "my Rabbi told me that if you sell your actual vessels to a non-Jew, they would need to be toveled after Pesach." This is why, I believe, we sell the chametz "in" the vessels, not the vessels themselves.
I am not a Rabbi; I never thought about this until now; I am just surmising...
Under the rules of "zochin l'odom shelo b'fonov" ("[One can] bring a benefit to [another] person even if he is not here [i.e., without his knowledge].") I would expect that the Rav does a kinyan with someone who represents the online customers.
We find a similar situation in the laws of Eruv Chatzeiros, where someone can make an eruv using his kid or wife to represent the other neighbors in the required transaction.
