    Default 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.

    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

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    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

    <b>Edit:</b> Now I fell in love with that Genki Gang store. Thanks

    <b>Second edit:</b> The despair.com stuff is also great. I think I'll follow blindly any links ShlupQuack posts in the future.

    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 have a signature now. Am I cool yet?

    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.

    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.
