I usually buy anime from Best Buy or Amazon.

As for manga, justmanga.com, amazon, and barnes & noble.

I find ebay is a good place~
But some retail shops are good [specially' around christmas]

Orz I go to the $5 anime stand at the convention which comes into town annually and buy a stockpile of em' xD

I never bought anime or manga, and I never buying stuff from internet...in my town near my apartment is store which has several manga (Naruto, Bleach, Claymore...), I am planing to buy some and waiting for store to get some more

...btw in my country 90% people don't know what anime and manga is

I've been to at least 4 anime conventions, so very few of my stuff came from conventions. Others, a comic book store that also sells anime, Barnes & Nobles, f.y.e, Fry's Electronics, and Best Buy.
i currently own 3 cosplays, expecting a fourth one in early May.

Shops I've bought from in person:

Borders (a few manga volumes).
Anime conventions (tons of manga)

Shops I've bought from online:

J-list (mostly magazines/ artbooks, a figure, various small things)
Play-asia (some games, a figurine, a few various things)
Himeyashop (Umineko visual novel(s))
Justmanga (some manga, very large selection though average prices)
Akadot Retail (some magazines I couldn't find elsewhere)
RightStuf (currently in the process of shipping, haven't used before but it's definitely cheap, especially with "membership" + when they have sales. Also, international shipping is pretty cheap compared to some other places. Good for manga and anime.)

Very likely to use in future: (haven't at present)

Cdjapan (various - cds, dvds, books)
Various shops in Japan
Mangagamer (probably just higurashi visual novels)

.........................

But yeah, with the collectors mindset: Owning things is much more satisfying than having hard drives full of shit. Still, having both is a bonus.

Also, I much prefer printed media (eg manga, artbooks, magazines etc) in book form than in digital... which is another big incentive for buying (the stuff I like enough anyway). ^^

The majority of the anime I've bought has come from BestBuy, I've also ordered online from Rightstuf and was quite pleased with the results. I'll likely be buying more and more anime online since my local Bestbuy is only place close by that really sells anime and they've cut their anime selection in more than half over the last year and half or so.
