I literally bought over %80 of my Christmas shopping online this year. The prices were just too good.

This is the wave of the future. There will be no stores for things you don't need instant possession of.

Money talks, and it told me to buy online.

The stuff that I buy I really have a hard time online because I need to "test" it first.

For example, when I was shopping for a GPS, I couldn't tell at all from web sites or even youtube vids how the look and feel of the device was. I needed hands on. That's where Circuit City comes in handy.

I do have to admit though, that I will very often go to Circuit City or Best Buy and get my hands on, then go online price searching. It's rare I actually buy from the store that gave me my hands on. And that's a shame, because if we aren't supporting the stores like that then they will be gone. Circuit City and CompUSA are just two examples of stores that are on their way out.

We need a Frye's here in the tri-state area.

i buy a lot on ebay, and most of my stuff theres no need to test it first. one is as good as another so cheapest price gets it except if it's a place with bad return policy or something.
