I've used the internet to buy airline tickets, concert tickets and one book.

I've never bought anything else on line - has anybody?

I've bought airline tickets, booked hotel rooms, one CD - it took 3 months to come (that's why I've only ever bought one), an inflatable mattress, ladies underwear, men's swimwear and various 'gadgets' from the Gadget Shop - nothing odd about me!! smiley - smiley

I've brought a CD by a band that isn't very popular in England On-line. And I once clicked a banner add that promised to kill me if I didn't.
I used to go on Yahoo! a lot, but I don't think I have in months.

Captain Kebab

Couple of books that I couldn't easily get locally from a South American river. I'm still a bit wary of buying online, although you're probably more likely to get ripped off over the phone.

I buy books on-line fairly regularly, including second-hand books. But six months of grocery shopping on-line completely dwarfed the amount of money I'd been spending on books.

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor

Just the once.
I was emailed that e-toys was having a closing down sale.
I couldn't believe the prices, I spent around £36, and ended up with over a hundred quids' worth of stuff, not just toys, I also got myself an unusual jigsaw. The Pokemon Master game was an absolute bargain at £10, my son still plays with it and the cd still works...
There was only one item I'd ordered which wasn't supplied.

I get emailed to buy online all the time, I have a Tesco card & I must have given them my email addy because they keep asking me to order online, which I have so far resisted as it's £5 delivery charge.

I don't click banners.

Cheerful Dragon

Books, CDs, videos, DVDs, clothes. I only buy online if the price, including delivery charges, is less than I would pay at the local shops. It can be with CDs, but a lot of the time and with a lot of products, it isn't. Besides, I like to browse through books before I decide whether to buy, which you can't online. I also like to try clothes on before I buy, to check for fit.

Tickets, PC bits.

I've never clicked on a banner. In fact, I use software to strip them out.

I hate banners too - most annoying!

I have bought shed-loads on-line.

Hitch-Hikers on video
many other videos
CDs
Lots of books
Shoes
Clothes
A pine blanket chest
an orgasmatron (not rude, honest)
toys
flowers
