I have been making excuses lately to make regular rounds to the shopping mall, and I did find something that would be perfect for the occasion, but the price tag kinda threw me away from buying it. My cousin suggested this afternoon to go shopping online. She suggested it is going to be inexpensive, and be of much value. I can find something local, so no shipping charges or scams should be expected.

I did my much needed research and found some resources that seemed genuine and people on these sites seem real. Some of these have postings for used and new stuff. So, after purchasing and shipping that expensive gift for my friend, I am off to selling those unused items lying around in my house.

I have been lurking around at craigslist classifieds, Used Ottawa and ebay. I am not sure if I find something locally at eBay, I still would need to get it shipped or the item can be pickled up.

Anyways, what do you suggest I do? Is shopping online a good idea?
