Shopping Online

Do you like to shop online? I love to shop online. I'm doing it right now.

Lets share our favorite places to shop, shall we?

• eBay - Absolute best place ever. I can get anything I want there. As soon as I can set it up I'm going to start selling there. Many of the sites below I go to in order to find things I want to buy off eBay.
  -Bought there? Many, many things.
• T-shirts That Suck - Sells funny/crude t-shirts. Don't go there if you're offended by such things.
  -Bought there? BJ bought me a "PeTA" shirt there once.
• Despair, Inc. - De-motivating posters, etc.
  -Bought there? Not yet, though I enjoy looking.
• Discount Anime - Bootleg anime DVDs for cheap.
  -Bought there? Not while I'm still getting enough anime for free.
• Anime Castle - General online anime store.
  -Bought there? Nothing that I recall... but I keep an eye out for things I like there.
• Anime Stop! - General anime store with a lot of figures.
  -Bought there? I keep a close eye on their figures, but I haven't bought anything.
• Anime USA - General anime store.
  -Bought there? I generally go here to find things I want to look up on eBay.
• chibiTOKYO.com - General anime store.
  -Bought there? Nope, just browsing.
• Explosion-Toys - Many, man figures. Both Japanese and American.
  -Bought there? Nope, just browsing.
• House of Anime - General anime store.
  -Bought there? No, but I browse this place a lot.
• J-List - General Japanese stuff (including porn, so watch where you go).
  -Bought there? A few things because they have a lot of stuff I can't find anywhere else. BJ bought me some sushi-making stuff there, but it took a very long time to ship and one of my items went out of stock so I never got it. I only buy from there if I really, really want something that I can't find anywhere else.
• Joy's Japanamation - General anime store.
  -Bought there? Nothing.
• JSTORE - General Japanese and anime stuff. Tons of merchandise.
  -Bought there? Nothing but I browse a lot.
• Mugen Toys - General figure store.
  -Bought there? Nothing, just like to look.
  Ningyoushi's Workshop - Anime and designer figures. Very good stuff.
  -Bought there? I bought an Asuka figure there once. Nice place.
• Right Stuff International, Inc. - General anime store.
  -Bought there? - Nothing, just looking.
• Genki Gang - Crazy cute hats!
  -Bought there? Nothing because its expensive. I think I may steal their designs and make one myself though.
• Wackyjack - I'm not posting a link because its too naughty, but they have some cute clothes.
  -Bought there? No, I mostly go there to steal ideas and make the clothes myself.

I know, I look without buying a lot. I like shopping mostly to get ideas on things I can do myself.

I havn't bought anything online ever...Im just too paranoid to put my Credit Card online, no matter how much security a site says it has.

It's a love hate thing for me. I love it because it's so easy, but because it's so easy and they have so much, I'm more inclined to blow a lot of money. I usually just use gamestop.com, amazon.com, and animenation.com

I would NEVER. It would desecrate my favourite hobby of all time; shopping offline.

I've bought stuff from ebay and amazon.com in the past. I also got a camera on the net, but can't remember what the site was.

I bought a poster from allposters.com and some DVDs online

I've never bought ebay stuff, but I've been tempted. Might do that soon, though I'm kinda trying to restrict my shopping habits offline at the moment, because of a sudden lack of money. >=/
I'd also like to buy a digital camera online, they're often cheaper.

I've bought books online, and plane tickets, train tickets and movie tickets... Tickets are good :)

Edit: Now I fell in love with that Genki Gang store. Thanks :D

Second edit: The despair.com stuff is also great. I think I'll follow blindly any links ShlupQuack posts in the future.
"These products not tested on animals. But if you've got pets, and would like to do your part for scientific inquiry..."

The only things I've bought online was my Final Fantasy IX OST, and my "Artist In The Ambulance" by Thrice.

I'm not much of an online shopper, to put it roughly.

I buy DVD's from Amazon and Silver Vision and music from Game Music.

I spend quite a bit of cash online, yes.

I go to trademe.co.nz sometimes. It's a popular NZ buy&sell website.

Tis how I got GTA 2. Ebay is a godsend.

I like Amazon.com :) Online shopping is cool, but I don't do it very often.

I shop online at Barnes and Noble. Half the time when you go to the physical store, they don't have what you need, and they just have to order it anyways. Cuts out the middle man to order it for yourself.

There's some stuff you just can't buy offline. For example, I had to import my Wonderswan Color when I bought one, since they only exist in Japan. Same used to be true of video game music. And stuff over here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/index.shtml The company is American, but a physical store selling that crap doesn't exist.

Ebay and CCS.com, although nearly all the orders I put in at CCS yield the wrong product.

I liked online shopping before. But now that major sites are charging tax now, I don't see much of an advantage anymore.

I dislike shopping either way.

Shopping online rocks because I have such a pitiful excuse for a life.

My favorite places to shop has got to be eBay, Amazon, and Gamestop. r0x0r5 j0r b0x0r5!!!!!!!!11111

I do shop online. I browse a lot more than I buy. The only site I usually buy from is eBay. I also buy things from people on forums a lot too. If you do your homework and put some time in you can save a lot of money.

Thanks for the list of links, Shluppy. <3

I love shopping online. The sites I use are:

Ebay - Bought FF figures/dvds for friend.

www.play.com - It's UK based, DVDs, games and CD's damn cheap and free delivery. Bought DVDs and CDs.

www.otaku.co.uk - Anime/Game stuff in the UK. Bought FF figures, CD for friend and FFVII OST.

Amazon.co.uk - Bought FFX strategy guide, red dwarf book, CD.

That's about all..I prefer ordering from the UK but I've started ordering from overseas through Ebay recently, since I signed up with Paypal it's so easy to buy things. But too easy, like TheAbominatrix said, so I spend too much xD

ebay, fareastdvd, and *maybe* chapters.ca/amazon.com; other places aren't worth my time. Interestingly enough I need a printer cartridge and the online store of the store that I originally bought the darn thing from doesn't stock it O_O

amazon and gamestop thats about it.

People on ebay sell some of the weirdest crap. I remember hearing of some 17 year old girl trying to sell her virginity, highest bid went to 18 grand before ebay closed the deal and cancelled her account. One guy tried to sell a PS3 but what it was is an empty box.

Someone sold an XBox box for $353 a couple of years ago. He even CLEARLY STATED on the auction that "For all those thick headed people out there, this is just the box, not the system, and empty box." And there were over 40 bids and over 1000 page views. It's amazing how many idiots actually bidded on something like that. He even insulted the people by stating that on his auction...but those people deserved to be ripped off. Because the text was in bold and flashing.

I've never bought anything online. No credit card = no shopping on the net. =P
