If I could examine it in a showroom first, sure. I would never by something like a sofa without first sitting in it.

Also, what would DISCOURAGE you from buying from a particular website?
A pocket knife purchase from one site landed me on a mailing list for a company that sells replica nazi items (among other things). I wasn't happy about receiving the catalog. I never bought anything from that site again.

Generally, websites that look like they were designed for Mosaic make me a bit nervous. However, I'll buy from a poorly designed site if they have industry references or recommendations from other sites that I respect.

Being required to register before the site estimates shipping and handling reduces the chances that I will purchase anything from them.

Typos, poor grammar, lots of animation, dead links, long load times all discourage me from buying from some websites.

That's it for now.

Me too! I like to be able to open items in new tabs. Detailed specs and the ability to compare across product are nice as well.
