Beauty of the Burst and Gibson Electrics: The Classic Years.

 

[JMapleton]

Around 1998. I won a $25 gift card somehow, I don't remember and I bought a book.

 

[jlee]

Edit: Oh, first. Heh, oops...no idea.

 

[IGemini]

Haven't a clue. Amazon says I had a couple orders in 2005 it won't show and I can't remember what they were.

[IndyColtsFan]

July 17, 1997. "Billions and Billions-Thoughts on Life and Death" by Carl Sagan. I swear that I don't remember ever owning that book.

 

[bignateyk]

Sony Cybershot in 2007, but I have a hard time believing that was my first order since that was a year after I graduated college.

My guess is I had another account at some point and forgot about it.\

I wish there was a way to see how much you've spent there in total (without having to add it all up from hundreds of orders).

2005, when I started college

 

[trmiv]

First order on current account was on June 27th, 2001 and was:

George Thorogood & The Destroyers: Anthology

Pretty sure I had another account before that on that I stopped using. No idea what that order was.

I had Amazon a long time ago when it was just books. Lost my account info and had to start up a new one.

According to my orders page:
April 16, 2009
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EWEXQ0

Still have and use them both. One in my pocket, the other in my glove compartment.

Star Wars: New Jedi Order: Recovery

I got over my Star Wars fandom in 4 short months though when Episode 2 was released.

Mine shows orders from the mid to late 90s.

 

[sdifox]

Mine shows orders from the mid to late 90s.

so why does mine only go back to 2000? I remembering ordering before that...

maybe because my email addr changed?

 

[SphinxnihpS]

1996 - The Street of Crocodiles -Bruno Schulz

...because amazon got started as a book seller mainly, and you couldn't find that book anywhere.

Sennheiser HD270 Control Studio Monitoring Headphones

They sucked BTW. Last time I buy closed headphones, my ears get hot enough without them. Oh, and the cable broke within a few weeks; luckily I was able to get a replacement, after which I quickly sold them on eBay.
