Wow, you guys have some large orders. My order just showed up a little bit ago, and the cool thing is, they threw in a free T-Shirt and two free stickers for the car. :)

<< I'm currently waiting for the UPS guy to drop off the most expensive order I've ever placed online. The order is a new carburetor for my racecar, racing shoes and racing gloves, total $930 including shipping. Feels a little odd buying something for that much without ever talking to a person at the place you ordered it from. So, what are some of the largest online purchases people here have made? >>



around 4k

<< Probally the parts I bought for my computer at Newegg..... that all adds up to about $950... the credit card placed called to make sure I wasn't crazy :) >>



Haha, I charged $50 for a hotel in Mexico, and they called me wanting to know if I actually travelled down there or if I was just crazy, or both.

I suck. Only about 300 dollars was my max. For a 4x burner from Computers4sure when they first came out.

(Don't laugh!)$185 on my plextor 8/4/32 cd burner, this was about a year ago. I think this is the only time I have ever ordered online without some sort of discount. I was expecting to get my money back from pointclick, but they went bye bye:(.

Over the last 3 years, probably close to 2 million through Boeing's wesite. (I'm an aircraft parts buyer, which may not count, but it was over the internet). Personally, $ 671 the other day at newegg.


So do I win??
