Well Dick, I have my reservations about purchasing musical instruments without playing the but there are plenty of products that I would happily buy on line if I ever had any money to spend. My only online shopping experiences have been with CDNow a couple of years ago and they were happy ones (proved to be cheaper and more reliable than my local UK shop!).I rarely puchase anything (unemployed) but would have no hesitation in online shopping with any of the above - in fact I would be quite pleased to offer what little bit of trade I had in those directions.
