I just did some online window shopping, piling everything I could want from this site into my shopping cart. I will now proceed to pare everything down as much as possible, and then I'll just stare at the cart and talk myself into NOT checking out. Please confirm that I'm not the only crazy person who does this.
I would love to but ... - Brent - Yes I am
I have many books in shopping carts in many websites waiting for me to click the next button - Aaman (Clone of FF)
I do find that if I force myself to not checkout online immediately, I start to develop spending guilt and usually don't make purchases. I save a lot of money that way. - Eban Crawford
Just yesterday. It felt good to close my browser. - Jack&Cleo
It's good to know I'm not alone in my craziness =D - FFing Enigma
i do this ALL THE TIME. mostly with music and music-making related items. i could easily spend our yearly income on instruments and recording equipment in an afternoon. - Joe Silence
You're not alone. - Anne Bouey
Meanwhile elsewhere in the world, desperate site admins pour over their logs trying to determine what, exactly, they are doing wrong which causes people to abandon such large and profitable orders... - DGentry
I do that, too. It's also how I shop offline, especially at Target. - Penguin
I often do online shopping that way. Especially if I have a coupon or there is a sale. - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone
i do that with places like thinkgeek.com and amazon - Imabug
You are not alone in this. Amazon must hate me. - coldbrew
I do this all of the time. It gets really bad when books are involved. - Katy S
http://www.emarketer.com/Article...: "According to an e-tailing group survey, nearly 60% of US online retailers survey are seeing cart abandonment rates of over 20% this year. A study by PayPal and comScore found 45% of US online shoppers had abandoned shopping carts multiple times in just three weeks. Most importantly from the merchants’ point of view, the average cost of abandoned goods in those shopping carts was $109." - ⓞnor
Yep, do this all the time. Do it regular-shopping, too, if I have a shopping cart. Drives Shawn nuts, but it gives me time to decide what I really want. - Pixie
I do this all the time too - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
Isn't this what everybody does? ;) - Bonnie Foster
