I don't see why not. you need to give out personal info to buy something. Make sure you're talking to your parents though, don't want to get their identity stolen.

Should be fine. How would you be paying online?
I need to find a replacement for my old PS2 headset as well. I bought a nice headset for my computer, but it isn't a USB and I do not want to shell out a lot for the PS2. 10 bucks is a nice price.
The headset is refurbished, so you might get one that is bad, but they do have a 90 day warranty. The reason most of these headsets break is because they are neglected. Mine lasted for years, until finally after 2 moves and a couple friends/brother in law stepped on it, it finally broke.
If you pay through credit card, most of them have identity fraud protection built in. So no need to worry there. I myself would be using the Paypal option, but I am going to go to an EB games or MicroPlay and see if they have one there (never thought of looking there:p)

I had a set of headphones, I think they were about 30$, and I left them in the computer and my sister took them out and started chewing on the wire and it broke.

it seems good (Almost too good) so i can see where ur coming from. My 2 cents is that you should always try to arrange pick up if ur bguying somthing off the internet. Then u can get the item when u give the money. but yer seems good

The thing with the internet is that people are too lazy to meet each other, and are sometimes across the world. He's going to give his credit card number to pay, and he's going to get the headset in the mail. Thats how it usually works.

Surprisingly things on the internet are more likely to be legit rather than offline. My mum bought this computer that would seem to have something majorly wrong with it, it was an amazing deal. It was a 4000 dollar computer selling for 900 bucks. It's been working fine for a year and a half.
***** uses it for work only though.
