    Many of us buy online as well as offline. I like online as it is convenient and sometimes really cheap (especially when they have special promotions.

    I think many of us buy whatever is the best at the moment. Many things can be built, but some things you just gotta buy.

    Online places are also good all year round. I also spend bucks at Walmart, BigLots and other places...but I live online.

    Certainly a lot of forum members buy online as our advertisers see a really good return on their investment (and they come back year after year).

    I like buying online because you can get all the new items before your neighbours goes to Walmart the week before Halloween..lol...also it help to streach your cost over a few months instead all at once. Also online companys has props where no one else has locally.

    I buy about 110% of everything I buy online. And not just Halloween...

    Isn't there a forum here dedicated to reviews of vendors? That is a great resource for places to visit and real world feedback from your friends here. Some sites you certainly want to avoid and others you can't afford to not know about!

    Wilbert,
    Thanks for the info. What site do you recomend most for Halloween that has reasonable prices? Cause I'v looked at Fright Catalog and it's just too much.

    I love looking at Hauntedprops.com. I haven't bought anything yet, hoping they have a sale soon.

    Depends on what you are buying.

    orientaltrading.com
    buycostumes.com

    among others

    For parts? Sites like mcmaster-carr, grainger, etc... and tons more are out there.
    For specialty stuff, I have my favorites like hauntmasterproducts,frightprops, monsterguts, etc...

    I love oriental trading... their products are cheap Chinese junk, but it is cheap and the customer service rocks. They answer the phones and do their best to make you happy.

    I use tons of other sites, pls goto the forum to see what we have already added.
