Just a quick poll to get an idea how many of you monkeys buy stuff online--and I don't mean infomercial products (just ask JOJO about how much she loves Epil-Stop-and-Spray :rolleyes: ).

How often do you purchase online?

(MBC...I may have to do an entirely different poll just so we can track your purchases ;) )

well i was shooting the **** with the guys at my LBS when one guy decided to pull up my account and see how much i have spent in their shop. It tallied almost 3g for the last 11 months (I’ve only been shopping there that long) and that's just for the major stuff that they tag to accounts and doesn’t taking it to account minor stuff like tubes and lube and stuff most of the time.
So i pulled up my checking SS and filtered out everything but bike online purchases and it's almost the same amount.:eek:
Once a week for me but that's only if i stop buying for the year right now:dead:

why the hell do YOU care?!
I purchase online far too often. I pulled up my Paypal history (which only records up to one year) and it was a good 5 pages long! :eek:
Sure enough, my credit card # was used fraudulently. Fortunately it wasn't anything major, but just the fact that someone got it had me on alert.
But that only stopped my online purchasing for about 6 days. :rolleyes:

Jeez...how many bikes does that dude have? And do the new bike parts help his ride, or is he all about getting upgrades to make himself look better? That money could be my salary!

So the UPS guy just stopped by and said "Hey Josh, is Mike around. I've got a package for him." OK we have a problem here.:D :D

Leatherface, that guy HAS TO buy for either a store or for all his friends. He is not local he is on the east coast. I can't imagine having that kind of money to spend on bikes INSANE

How much do you love that show? Have you seen "Six Feet Under"--HBO has really awesome series. And I seem to spend all of my money at amazon, so don't feel bad :)
I had to ban my husband from Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Dropped cable a while back, so I'm buying the vids to get my fix. S&TC plus the Sopranos almost made it worth keeping cable, but...
