You can buy that online?!!

The vast innovation that technology has given us in boundless. We are able to speak with people on the other side of the world at real time, order food online and have it delivered to you, and even learn new skills by watching videos online. With all the things we can now do online there are still a few things I would advise in not purchasing online. I personally feel uncomfortable giving sensitive information online such as my credit card number and address. I am the type of person that won't answer my phone calls if I don't know the number or am not expecting someone to call. But over the recent years shopping online has intrigued me. At first it was credible sources that were selling goods online and only online, and as a consumer I had to break my concerns with giving my information online so that I could purchase these goods. For the most part there are a few things I would and wouldn't get online. Things that are exclusive to online purchase are few things I would get online, however, things you can go see directly to purchase I would not even consider ordering online. With that, I have the biggest problem with craigslist, it is an open source where people can post up things they wish to sell and have other people around contact to purchase said item. I may have a trust issue but, when someone is not a credible source and i'm trying to purchase a TV or a smartphone I would much rather pay the higher price getting something brand new. There is more security in knowing the device has never been used and you know exactly where it's coming from. When I think of craigslist it reminds me of when mobsters were still around and they would go around the streets dealing, and simply does not seem legitimate. Overall, I would never buy something online when I can go to a physical store, unless it is something I wish to purchase that is exclusive to online purchase such as Chachi pants which are dancer pants that a famous dancer from ABDC (American's Best Dance Crew) known as Olivia Chachi Gonzales, made famous by wearing while being part of ABDC and is sold exclusively online.
NO BUENO!
