I figured it out !!!!


They are offering stuff you'll never buy :)) I mean it. Most of you got stuff from the kichen you'll never visit.

I usualy wisiting kichen, electronick and tools. The offers I got was 4 from garden and some chair :) none from the sections I usualy browse :)


So it's a big scam to attract your attention and take all your free time for cheking gold boxes :) (j/k)

Actually, that is a very good price for the jig saw (free shipping + no tax). Perhaps, you are thinking of another Bosch jig saw (Bosch 1587AVSK) which is inferior and cheaper. The 1587AVSP is an awesome jig saw and I was going to purchase it through Amazon yesterday. Now, I think I'll wait until it shows up in my Gold Box. Also there is a $15 off $100 Tools coupon floating around some site called T@chbargains.

Granted there is a lot of crap they put in the Gold Box, but there are some gems. So far, I've purchased a Zourijshi Rice Cooker and Plantronics CS10 Headset via the Gold Box.
Also, I think the Gold Box is reset every 2-3 days. I haven't had for 3 days now.

Some $20 addon for a specific model of a Leatherman tool for $3 but what's the likelyhood I own that particular model of tool. I thought that maybe "Bosch 1587AVSP Progressor Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit" was a little better...

Weird, I could have sworn I looked at my Gold Box offers earlier today, but I was able to do it again just now. Here's what I got offered:

1) Audiovox D1700 Portable DVD Player - $329.99 WOW, this was actually a good deal. Unfortunately, I really didn't need a portable DVD player - my laptop works better. :)
2) PNY Verto GeForce4 Titanium 128MB DDR Ti4600 AGP - $350.99
3) Plextor PlexWriter 40x12x40 Internal EIDE CD-RW Drive - $133.19
4) TDK AI401248 40x12x48 CD-RW Drive - $116.99
5) Samsung Mini Yepp 64 MB MP3 Player YP-20S - $92.29

Well, the portable DVD player made the best Gold Box offer I've gotten yet. Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten anything under $10 yet. Geez, I wonder if there's some way to limit the Gold Box to stuff under $10. :)

Those BASTARDS!!!!!!!

They just offered me the Audiovox 1680 for $132 too. There were very few left in stock so I hussled my ass to checkout. Well, halfways through it dumps me out as the item went out of stock while I was checking out. What kind of FALSE ADVERTISING is this??? They were the ones who offered me the product and it was definitely in stock at that time.

The real kicker is because I started the checkout process, they think that I did buy it and as a result can't see my remaining three offers.

Fuck Amazon...fuck them up their stupid asses...

WOW!! Good deal! I'll buy one for $150 if you can buy more than one

- Sorry man they dont let you change the quantity for Gold Box purchases... my roomate got really lucky and got it also, but we're both keeping ours.

This is like gambling... now I feel like checking my damn gold box everyday.
