"Shopping Spree!"

This is the second post for the EIR blog.  So far, I have learnt about various websites and their uses.  For example, forums are there for people to query about things which they are unfamiliar of and people reesponds with answers to their questions. 

I have since chosen to research the topic of development and usage of Twitter in education.  I think that this is an interesting topic since we are currently living in a "digital world", whereby our lives revolves around technology.

Our assignment for the week is to use various websites such as eBay and yahoo auction to "purchase" things we would like to have, if we have $500 to spend.

Well, for me, I prefer to buy practical items which I most likely would use in the near future.

One item that I would yearn to have is this pretty checkered white coat, which would cost $51, inclusive of postage.

 Another thing which I would buy if I were to have $500 to spend would be this Adidas jacket costing $40.  This could be used for rainy days to keep me warm. :) 

This watch costing $87 seems to be a good buy for me.  It is a gold watch studded with genuine Swarovski crystals and is scratch proof so I do not have to be constantly worried that I may damage this expensive watch.  In addition, it comes with a three year buckle-to-buckle warranty.

 

It would also be good to have this black Maxx New York

Wooster Satchel bag ($100) , as it is not only trendy but also classy.

This Sunbeam Heritage Series Hand Mixer would be ideal when I bake cakes or muffins during my free time.  It has a comfortable soft-grip handle. Plus, it also comes with two chrome beaters, two dough hooks and two whisks and a matching stainless steel bowl with cover, so that the crumbles would be easy to clean up after using it.  e-Shopping.com is currently selling it at the price of $43.65.

Molto Italiano: Simple Italian ($69.95) is a cooking book which I would like to have, as it teaches me how to cook simple yet tasty Italian side dishes and deserts.

 

This gorgeous Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry set ($103) is so elegant that every lady  would love to own it.

 

The last item that I would buy would be this Nature's Way Vitex Fruit 400mg, Capsules costing $5.  It would be suitable for students or working adults which seldom have fruits for lunch or dinner. 

 

Tadas .  This would be how I would spend the $500 shopping through the Internet.  However, there would be limitations for reliability through shopping online, as many individuals might take the opportunity to scam others of their money.  Hence, one should be wary of such cases when shopping online.
