I miss VA sorely. How many accounts did you guys have? You know, for other family members...

I still have things that I bought from them that I haven't even opened.

What a deal. No wonder they went broke.

I was about 6 months too late for valueamerica. :( First ridiculous deal I pulled off was when boo.com was going out of business. Got a sweet pair of sandals with a free $30 credit, I believe.

I saw just thinking about VA the other day. Who was the moron who thought-up the 100 ValueDollars for new customers thing? (I think that's how it worked) Well, I would like to thank him or her, as those ValueDollars went a long way for me and some friends (I got a TNT2 cheap thanks to that, and a friend, IIRC, bolstered his DVD collection mightily).

How about Freeride? ;)

I got 3-4 Dreamcasts from VA when the systems first came out...paid half price, sold for $100 above retail.
