Gilly: Did you like the Chanel bag that I got?
Nate: You must have a rich boyfriend because that bag is so expensive!
Gilly: I bought it on eBay. It was only one-tenth of the original price. And the purchase was so easy.
Nate: No kidding! Then how do you know the bag's real?
Gilly: Well, it came with a certificate, and it looks real. But auctioning on eBay is risky.

Gilly: Then you haven't browsed eBay before...get online. Don't hang up!
