libertango...just how out of control my Amazon wish list is?
I mean, I admit I'm using it more as a reference list for the future than to actually buy stuff. You know, the books and records you bump into once, and if you don't write them down or something you never remember them again? It's just that mine's ballooned out to 349 items.
OTOH... well, i do have a birthday coming up on June 28th, if anyone's interested...

Oh, jeez, a UK list? A place to point people to order the Goons or Billy Connolly for me? retro me, satanas! :)
I really wish there was a better mechanism for organizing the list. F'r instance, I wish I could point you to a folder, say, of the photography books I've flagged out. I really admire some of the stuff of yours I've seen, and it'd be easier to share a common interest that way. Ach, well. Took them forever to go to the multipage setup, which was vast help to me because it meant they didn't have to render the entire bloody page! {cough}
On a similar note, I wish it was easier to print and/or export the list. But there you go.

Date: 2002-05-23 05:28 pm (UTC)The funny thing is when I finally purchase something off my list, it isn't from Amazon itself, but from a bookstore. Preferably a local bookstore, because I try to support them when I can.

That's a great idea. But I wonder how many people have as lengthily lists as ours for it to be a worthwhile feature for them to implement? :)Then again it probably wouldn't be that difficult.

As I recall, business class accounts for only 20% of the tickets, but 80% of the profits for airlines. In a similar way, to what degree are Amazon shoppers who keep long lists high-margin/repeat shoppers for them? Such a feature basically makes the site "stickier", and there's lots of evidence they like that (wish lists in general, reviews, etc.)
