The nicest aspects of not shopping in person at shows or stores:

--Not having to inquire about price. People who want to sell things always have an actual price attached. (If something is listed on a venue such as Marketplace with a price of "$1" or "Free", immediately pass it by. It's not $1 and it certainly won't be free or priced realistically. "i'M aCcEpTiNg oFfErZ!!!" = I'm only looking to sell to someone with no idea of actual value and who is willing to give me thrice that.)

--Not dealing with someone reaching for a price guide or their phone to access past sales records for every single item they are selling, thereby letting you know this was likely a few moments of your life you'll never get back. (With online offerings, people who are doing this are easily ascertained and avoided if necessary simply judging by their prices.)

--No hemming and hawing/having to listen to someone's life story when all you want to do is purchase something and move on.
