I know i know, everyone just says 'oh u can get that s#*t cheaper on ebay idiot' but i'm trying to encourage some people to shop online (namely myself amongst others).
I've already weighed the cons vs. the benefits to online shopping and am for it, and was just wondering if anyones got opinions on good online shops (ships to australia or from australia) or some recommendations to start off with. Only one i've seen/going to use so far is http://www.dealextreme.com/ but there are other things from books to clothes to... well anything. and amazon is just freakin' expensive for stuff. thanks in advance |

It really depends on what product you're after. I find that stores for specific items are generally better and a bit cheaper than the bigger online stores that sell lots of different things.

Well, in about 4 months i'm moving out for the first time, my own place. And i've had bad experiences with 2nd hand s***, so i'm gonna go for new stuff. So i'll be after pretty much abit of everything since i can't use my families.
i.e. i'm going to eventually be buying books (novels), a sofa, a tv, a new pc, (and, if all goes well clothes since most of mine are f%@k3d), microwave, pretty much alot of things. shop bots proving real useful, thanks for that paveway. oh and i just bought a pc on msy.com (heh shockign site but awesome prices). actually i still had to go into the shop but still. thanks for the links guys. for brisbane residents, peeps who are after pc parts, umart.com.au and msy.com.au are pretty dam hard to beat for prices. heh, well i hope they are since i just bought my shiz from them. |

I was searching on google and came to find a site http://www.blueunplugged.com/
I checked details. they are selling mobile phones and accessories. It seems good but I am not experienced though planning to try it in coming days. |
