So I bought a 50' long ethernet cable thing and after taxes/shipping etc, it came to a little over $10.00. Had a I bought this at any place around here (Best Buy, Staples, etc) I would have paid probably 10 times that, if not more... so then I was in the shower thinking that I need new razor blades, but those things aren't cheap and I thought, 'gee, I wonder if I could buy them online?' And more importantly, 'after all was said and done (tax/shipping/etc) would it ACTUALLY be cheaper?

So what do YOU guys buy online....and from where?


btw-I bought the cable from newegg.com

you're a liar, you know

Best Buy charges $100+ for 50 feet of ethernet cable?

Your story is full holes.

I'm just surprised she showers

most everything for a computer is cheaper from newegg. You're just now realizing this?

btw, there's a cool site called, i think, amazon.com. seems like they have a little bit of everything. I'll check it out a little more and report.

well I dunno how much they charge.....but I DO know that Staples has cables online that you can ONLY get online and when I went into the store, they didn't even have 50' length in stock and their 7' one was like $20....


this is not the point. jesus, leave it to you people to bring the negative

leave it to you to bring up dumb shit and capitalize every word in your title.

2/8/2008 5:06:25 PM

It's what I do. I consider thread titles to be like other titles.

It's not called 'War and peace' or 'The treasure of sierra madre'

2/8/2008 5:08:08 PM

I do that too.

OMG SOULMATES

2/8/2008 5:09:50 PM

OMG It's like a L.A. connection or something

Bought a Phillips Norelco T980 turbo vacuum beard trimmer and got it a few days later. They retail at any major place for right around $50, but I grabbed one from an ebay seller with shipping for just under 30.

GREAT purchase, online buys rule

textbooks are cheaper online.

2/8/2008 5:18:27 PM

whens the cheaper beer and liquor hitting the online retailers?

2/8/2008 5:22:00 PM

^ shipping is a bitch for heavy things like that

I felt like I was getting reamed when I paid something like $15 for a 6-foot USB cable for my printer at staples.
