    Funny, i could take that anyway. Does it rhyme with corn? haha

    I honestly dont remember but that would have been about 10 years ago. I was big into trading cards so probably something like that off of ebay but it could have been video games off amazon. Who knows, brings back memories of some older stuff I purchased though. Good thread!

    G1 Bumblebee and Cliffjumper from a private trader out of NYC. Marlon Key. I sometimes google him but he seems to have disappeared. He was a cool guy.

    Err a CD from Amazon. I think it was "American Teenage Rock'n'Roll Machine" by The Donnas back in '98 or so!

    Does buying games on Prodigy count? :D 

    I shopped a lot on ebay before Paypal existed. Mailing money orders was a pain in the ass, but as it turns out, it was cheaper than using Paypal.
