Hey everybody, I'm returning to this old (2 years?!) post to report that I finally developed this a little further by implementing a very basic shopping cart system for my frstcomputer.com gopher hole using PHP. If anyone here is still interested in the concept of a functional order-taking system for gopher, maybe give it a try? I do still have a few stickers. (but also... Plan 9 Cyberdecks)

I bought an 1802 kit from TMSI and it could have been done over Gopher. Out-of-band payment and I had to fill out and send an order form. It went really well and I'd definitely do it again. An experiment in this space could be low-stakes; stickers or something. If Gopher is best thought of as an improvement on FTP, Gopher commerce is an improvement on sending an SASE with a dollar bill. I'd try it.
