Where do you like to shop?
We go to Wal-Mart all the time. Its so convienant and they have everything we need pretty much. I dont like waiting on things, I'd rather go to a store and buy it. By the time your done with shipping and everything, Wal-mart is cheaper anyway.

Now tools are one thing I will agree with that you can get cheaper on ebay. However, if you have a "Pitsburg Tools" in your area, you can find them much much cheaper than ebay.

Clearance items are good to look for online. I dont see many clearance prices from ebay however. Even buying used stuff you can find cheaper at flea markets or yard sales. Thank you for your reply.

I think with a lot of things, Wal-Mart is cheaper in the end as well. Wal-Mart has really made a huge attempt to compete with online businesses and ebay. I think its great.

Shopping online can be a big hassle and a huge mistake sometimes. It's like a 50-50 chance that you will actually receive your product. Thank you for your reply.

Yes, another reason not to shop online. I made the mistake once of giving my debit card on an order once and before I knew it over $900.00 was taken out of our account. Even though it was done in a complete different country, my bank wouldnt do anything about it and I had to pay it back.

I love Walmart. I have to keep myself away from Ebay because it is so addicting. :) I can go crazy and buy lots of plants but I stay away on purpose. I have more important things to buy.
We buy our groceries and everything else at walmart as well. It is so convenient. :)

Heres another thing you can find much cheaper online. I dont think stores even sell any of the software they have out anymore. Software is very cheap online, I agree with you 100%.

Walmart, because you can see the items you buy. Also it's much safer because it's a store, not a online store. Ebay, you can get ripped off, scammed, ect. Also in Walmart, you don't have handing and shipping fees. You only have tax which is not a lot. On ebay, I saw something that was 1 cents, and later you find out the shipping fees are like $60!

Yea, those ebayers like to get you in the shipping. You have to watch out for that. I agree with you about Wal-Mart though. Like I said earlier, it's a 50-50 chance that you will even receive your product from ebay sellers.

I think ebay is the best option. Because you can buy anything you want. Lot of stuff you cant even find in walmart. Like a remote control for dish tv, movado watches and antique coins etc.
you can wait for right price for right stuff at ebay and get stuff at great price

Yes, I agree with hard to find items and origonal items. They can be very hard to find in stores. Thank you for your reply.
