I buy guitar gear (guitars, amplifiers, effects, etc.), t-shirts, camera gear, etc. from E-bay, Kijiji, Craigslist, and online forums.

pretty much my favourite place to buy stuff online is Amazon.

Just got some Sennheiser headphones that were originally $100, but marked down to $30.

I haven't bought too many things online. The only things I remember buying online are ..

a tshirt
laptop parts (that I couldn't buy in store)
make up (cheap eyeliner, eye shadow, etc)

I really dislike buying things online so I tend not to do it.

Along these lines, I was thinking "I'm surprised nobody has mentioned pr0n yet :p"

But then I though "Wait, who would buy pr0n online?"

What's wrong with buying movies online? I was able to get Dexter season 1 and 2 onsale for really cheap plus i had a coupon. I think that's a good deal.

I am sure it was a great deal. But nothing can compare to getting something for free :p

Um.
I've bought off American Eagle before. Mainly because they've got bigger sizes online. But it's really not a reegular thing, since I get charged out of my ASS with the border tax shit.

I would buy online if so much crap wasn't from the states. It's too expensive.

car stuff. Parts and audio
Electronics and electronic related accessories.

Usually I buy stuff online when the canadian dollar is up. because its much cheaper.


Btw remember guys if your ordering form the states ... stick with USPS.
ups, fedex, etc etc will get border fee's.

usps is a bit slower and they dont really update their tracking number but its better than paying a stupid border fee. But once a usps package reaches canada, you can use that tracking number on teh canadapost website to track it.
