Of course I buy online, I make most of my income selling online. eBay is where I get the majority of my stuff, but that's because I'm a Powerseller and sell most of my stuff there, so I have high confidence in getting good products or being able to return them if I don't like them. Let me let you in on a little secret in advance, the internet is eventually going to completely revolutionize the way we shop - to the detriment of Walmart, etc., and if you have a small specialized tackle shop or whatever, get your @ss online like yesterday, list things on eBay at less than retail to get people into your online store, and ride the wave dude
