Internet payment habits: Will buy expensive, will also buy affordable
There is not much forums on the Internet, and consumption is more focused on the spirit level.
Famous blogger Bo was born in the 60 's. For Bo, the main online consumption per month is buying books.
"When you're hundreds of, you don't buy books that you don't want to read," he said. "Bo online book general will be the first choice for excellence in Amazon, if out of stock will choose Dangdang."

Relatively speaking, in small and medium-sized cities, people without brand requirements will rely more on e-commerce. ”
However, Bo will choose to buy electronic products and digital products online, "But I am not good at bargaining, so the general shopping is the choice to buy in the business shop, will not choose to buy in Consumer-to-consumer." ”
Sometimes there are exceptions, Bo on Taobao will buy five thousand or six thousand-yuan SLR camera lens, "is mainly convenient, the price is similar, there will be no fakes, so I run five pine (note: Beijing a well-known photographic equipment shopping area) bought." ”
As for the purchase of other electronic products, such as mobile phones, audio pens and some household appliances products, bo mainly choose to buy in the Jingdong Mall, but also in the IT168 online through the telephone to the offline merchants ordering.

"I am not very sensitive to prices, nor have I chosen to buy services." "Bo said.
Compared with the Bo who have a car, a house and a living in Beijing, for forums, who live in the four or five-line city, the online consumption is more biased towards cheap leisure and entertainment.
Li Shulan from a local small state-owned enterprises in Sichuan Province, after the retirement, to find a kindergarten of the supernumerary chef work, at present, her daily most fun is on the QQ farm "steal food", and enjoy, and even a period of time obsessed with a good alarm clock 5 o'clock up to steal food.

Whenever is very calm.

Miao simply said.
However, over the years, the Internet has brought about a dramatic change in her life, saying, "If you leave the Internet, you can't live." ”
In addition to class and evening self-study outside the time, Miao like "curtilage" in the dormitory, QQ chat, Renren almost every day she will go to the place, even outside shopping, her mobile phone will always surf the internet, hanging QQ. "Really began to like the Internet, is starting from QQ chat, that time crazy plus friends chat, although I have not been to many places, but have friends all over."

"Up to now, I still have a lot of students are still buying QQ members, all kinds of drilling and Q-coins and anything."

Things to go back to 2009, at that time, unable to resist Ningeming "Stalker", mother weeks safflower nearly 6000 yuan to buy him two dragon Cat. In order to persuade me to buy him a dragon cat, he looked up a lot of information about the Dragon Cat on the Internet, and knew the life habits of the Dragon Cat.

Unexpectedly, Ningeming not only patiently raised the Dragon cat, but also found on the internet a dragon Cat enthusiasts QQ Group, often and group of "Cat friends" exchange experience. "I will have some fun in the process of the Dragon Cat, as well as cute photos of the Dragon Cat sent to the forum, and you share, two years down, now I have a lot of fans in the group." ”
In the summer of the second year, Ningeming's dragon Cat gave birth to 4 babies. Excited, he immediately sent pictures of the baby cat to the group and share with friends. But do not want this "inadvertently inserted Liu" of the move, let him make the first deal. "At that time is particularly excited, want to give the Dragon cat baby photos sent to everyone to see, did not expect a lot of people to leave the speech especially want to buy my dragon cat Baby." "Soon, Ningeming to do the life of the first business, and the buyer in the QQ talk about good, the buyer came to the home personally sent money, the Dragon cat Baby lead away."
"At that time my mother spent so much money to buy a dragon cat, and now it has come back." However, he stressed, "I bought the Dragon Cat to play, but not to make money." ”

"He now has nothing to do but pay this step, other online shopping steps can be completed independently." Taobao on their own good things, and then sorted by price, selected to the highest cost-effective, and the seller in Wang Wang talk about, and then buy, we parents to him to complete the final payment. "Zhou said. She calculated that, every two months, basically children will buy some extracurricular books and toys online, each consumption is probably within hundred yuan.
Let Zhou surprised, once Ningeming actually called the class more than 10 students organized a "buy". "At that time he took a fancy to a crystal ball toy with less than 3 yuan on Taobao, because the school and near the House did not sell this kind of thing, can only buy through the Internet, but if add 9 yuan freight is not cost-effective, so he found himself more than 10 students, plan to buy together. ”
