No, actually I don't usually see something in a store and then buy it online. For example, if I find something really interesting in a shop, I might like it so much that I'll go back the next day to buy it. Or, if the shop has sold out of that item, I might try to find the same thing at another store. But I wouldn't prefer to see something in a store and then buy it online. I usually just browse online first and then buy whatever I like. I find it easier to compare prices and find the best deals that way.
