Nice to see near-affordability leaking into the Bazaar. PayPal is definitely my preferred online payment gateway: I don't want to give my credit card details to every single company I deal with. Sticking to PP lets me reduce that exposure. Yeah, don’t like the canvas belts, but I like the price on those buckles. Nice to see near-affordability leaking into the Bazaar.

If your target market is geeks, you have to realize that they're ridiculously picky about that sort of thing.
