I know Richard stallman is against Amazon. Is abebooks.com a good alternative to Amazon for new and used books?

What's the best online web store for bicycles parts and accessories? That isn't Amazon of course.

Is Newegg and tiger direct best alternative to Amazon for electronics?

they list ebay as a way to donate to them here:

I believe RMS would rather you go to the local store rather then buying from online

Shouldn't this be asked on libreplanet-discuss mailing list instead?
There are people that are related to the FSF there and even RMS himself
sometimes answers there.

RMS doesn't use credit cards. IIRC, he only shops from sites that allow some semblance of privacy and take cash via snail-mail.
I can get why-- when it's snail-mail, the transaction is just between the buyer and the seller-- only they know.
When there's PayPal or something, there's a third-party that can snoop and record to their heart's content.
Based on that, Craigslist would work, right? :p
