Poll: What scuba products do you purchase online?

I've bought gear from both brick-and-mortar and online stores. Basically anything I really need to size I will only buy from the LDS. It isn't worth the hassle trying to size the right product online. One corollary to that is the halcyon gear I purchased years ago. We didn't have any local dealers at the time so I had to order online.

This is an age old debate. The fact is that online dive shops are here to stay and we seem to have as many dive shops as ever in the Twin Cities area. Shops have been closing but new shops have been opening over the past two years. So obviously there is a changing business model that is maintaining traction in this market. I think it is because local shops can still compete on training... service... travel... etc
