You all know that Google Shopping won't display anything "firearm related" anymore.
Google "Green Laser" and see what comes up in every ad on every page you open..
Sheesh..

Yet one more reason to hate them. I never thought I'd see the day that Microsoft looked like the good guys.

Gotta second this one. Got all the laser sight makers I could possibly want right there on the first page.
Unless... Santahog, maybe they just don't show that stuff to YOU.
Have ya noticed any black helicopters flying around lately?
Any black sedans parked on the street near your house?
Do ya get funny noises on yer phone?
They might just know what yer up to, buddy.

FWIW I tried green lazer sight and got one hit. There was a hyperlink for Tactical Green Lazer Sight and I followed it to a zero returns available... ::)

There's a distinct difference between a Google WEB search and a Google SHOPPING search.

I use ASK.com
Searched "Green laser sight", got the following.

I really only shop at three places online any more..............
My go-to place other than Brownells and Midway (lately) is Amazon. In the last few months I've bought everything from a new Bible, to a heating element for our dryer, to a picatinny riser for an AR, to a fuel pump for a lawn mower....... all cheaper (as much as 60% cheaper) than I could get it anywhere else with free (or really cheap) shipping.

I'm much the same. I'm not going to put my CC info on too many sites. Amazon has always fit the bill and I've not paid for shipping in three or four years now.
And, yes TAB, I keep track and pay my state sales taxes each April. Clothing is exempt up to 50 bucks, grocery is exempt as well!

Here's a good example of how some places gouge for parts cost. The dryer element went bad a few weeks ago and my b-i-l came over to look at it (he worked for Sears for years a a service tech, before getting back with the police dept.). His 'supplier' cost through Sears for the element was $60....... He used one he had on his truck, and I ordered him a replacement through Amazon...... cost mer $20 + $5 shipping (Amazon charges a shipping fee on items they broker from third party suppliers). While he was here, he got me to look up some commonly used parts for him....... the biggest sphincter-stretcher for him was finding out one part he regularly orders through Sears for $30 only costs $0.47 through Amazon. ;D
-
The only place I shop completely online is Amazon.
Any place else I will go online to shop then mail in the order and a Money order.

Yesterday I ordered some new work shoes, steel toe required. Keene had them for 125 bucks with 7 or 8 bucks freight. Amazon had them for $124.95 with free shipping. Do that ten or twenty times a year and the shipping adds up quickly. If they don't fit, they'll let me ship them back for free as well and replace them with another size also free shipping! I can't do that with the manufacturer of the shoe!
No brainer...
(yes, I tried to buy American but it's getting harder!)

All my work boots are Keene, I get 'em for... a smokin' deal ;D My step-daughter's dad works sales for them so we have Keene bags, shoes, back packs and the like. I still haven't got my Keene socks though

My first pair! Hope they work out...I've always been a Red Wing guy but they don't make a work Oxford that's 20 ounces and Keene does. They're both made in China these days so I went with the Keene!

I've had 4 pairs of their boots and the only ones I had an issue with they no longer make. More comfortable than the Georgia boots I wore for years and they are still oil resistant.

My one , sort of, gripe about Amazon.
I buy mostly books.
I have had fantastic luck with the used books, most titles I look for I can get for a penny and they are like new.
My gripe ?
$3.99 shipping .
With paperbacks running $7.99 + I can't get to upset though, and I got a Cold Steel Ti lite for half price. ;D

Gotta get over that 25 dollar hump to get free shipping. I save stuff in my wish list till I get over the hump...

Problem is they they come from different dealers, my average order is over $30 but split between several different dealers.
It works out on the other end though since I have packages to look forward to spread over a whole week.

You should get one of those Kindle things. My kid has one and she's never without the damn thing.
-
Been thinking about it.
Most of the books I get the Kindle edition is $.99.
Maybe this Christmas.

You can use the Kindle Fire as a wifi device at the local internet cafe as well. My daughter hops right on my network when she visits and she's online in seconds.

Wife has the Fire and loves it. I use a tablet instead (Toshiba Thrive) with a Kindle App. I got mine through Woot so it was only $50 more than the Fire but has much greater capability. The Fire is a Android tablet minus all the external connections and features (HDMI, SD slot ect) and some of the apps (email, web browser) won't run on a Fire.

Just bought the wife a Kindle Fire last month for our anniversary for the standard $200. Went in Staples today and they have them on sale for $150. >:(
Oh well, I've lost more for less in the past.
I did have to add a $40 wireless router to mu computer system, but I was going to do that anyway.
She (we ;) ) really like it..... lots of stuff at Amazon for free or .99 cents.
First free things I downloaded for her was the Bible, the US Constitution. and the Declaration of Independence..... and then the Federalist papers. ;D

Does it have to be wireless, or can you connect to the computer with a cable like uploading photo's from a camera ?

The Fire is wireless, but you can buy a cable (extra cost... for $200, looks like they could throw in a cable) to hook to a computer.
They have different versions. One Kindle runs on the 3G phone network, so it would work anywhere there is 3G phone access. My dad bought a regular original style Kindle from wal-mart a while back. The list price was $80, and wal-mart gave an instant $30 rebate/gift card at the register.
