Some people like it, some people hate it. Frankly, I love and hate it in the same time. Mostly I do it online, because I am too lazy or too lack of time to go somewhere and spend hours walking in malls. So, eBay, Amaxon and so on is my choise, and I can spend hours searching things here. The good thing is you can alwasy find all what you only wish but the bad one is you need wait when you will get it, and sometimes you will wait really long time, because Russian post sucks! Last year I order nice warm winter coat in September and get in only in the end of December.
But much more the clother, I love to search and buy other stuff: electronic, funny geeky things, pop-culture merch, action figures, guns tuning and equpment stuff, acssesories... When I can, I even order food: some sport nutrilion, protein bars and pills and so on (I really love iherb.com for this)
Sure, as anyone elce, sometiems I need to do it all offline, and, sometimes it can be even fun! But frankly, I hate to do sahopping with someone elce, I prefear to go alone, because I know mycelf: it can be too h`ard to find and choose something and my followers can start hate me :D
PS: share me your fav online stores where you like to buy things :P
