Why do people keep posting Amazon Gold Box deals in HOT deals?

NOT everyone gets the same gold box deals ... it's a waste to post them.

WTF gives?

Because most people don't check them because of all the kitchen and tool junk they get and think it's not worth their time. I think alot of people wouldn't know about good deals such as the digi cam one if it hadn't been posted.

That makes sense ...

I saw a kickass deal on a camera the other day, but I wouldn't post the damn thing, 'cause the deal is just to clear some stock, not for everyone, ya know?

It's not like it's totally different for each person because they have a big pool of gold box stuff from which everyone's good box selection ceoms from.

WTH is this gold box crap? I'm on amazon all the time and I never see it. It's supposed to be in the top right corner, right? Well?!?!

I have yet to see anything that I'd even think about buying, even if they cut their couponed prices by 75%. But I guess the real purpose is to promote their home, garden, and kitchen stores.

Almost ALL my gold box deals have been tech gadgets of some sort. This morning I had 2 mp3 players, some kinda compact flash card I think, a Samsung 19inch monitor and something else which escapes my mind.

Almost all my Amazon Gold Box offers have been computer or electronics or cameras, I found 256MB CF for $49 after rebate and coupon with free shipping but wasn't able to get it because it was my friend's and I couldn't get his permission to buy it since he was at work!
