  1. Are you referring to the fact that purchasing multiple books blocks your credit card from going through?

  2. Oh, I just found the article from The Guardian:

    Return to Santa – Amazon calls time on the unwanted gift.

    Retailer patents system that allows people to identify bad gift givers and return their gifts before they are even sent.

    I wonder what they consider a bad gift???

  3. Let's see. The worst gift I've ever received... a very bad painting that my niece bought at a college art show. A lithograph of a huge eyeball that looked like a fish swimming in red water.

  6. Thanks All

    Amazing sums it up, I think - but maybe not in the way Amazon has in mind.
