aggressive amazon captcha

Posted on November 20, 2022 by | Leave a comment

I just wanted to check a price, and Amazon got all aggressive with me. Not sure what the “TB” means in this case.

comparison shopping for a dvd

Posted on June 14, 2021 by | Leave a comment

I’d like to have this collector’s edition Blu-ray disc of The Dead Zone coming out in July.

Look what Amazon did. Free shipping for $25 orders, so the disc is priced $24.99. It’s like I’m being given the finger. 🖕

I’ll just get it from CD Universe where I buy most things of this type and have since the dial-up Internet days.

CD Universe also carries porn in case you have some friend who is interested in that.

amazon price check fail

Posted on April 21, 2021 by | Leave a comment

I just wanted to check a price, but Amazon doesn’t like my IP address (I’m on a VPN), so the progress bar goes halfway across then stops. Next image, it fails. The web server won’t serve.

Fine. What I want is cheaper over at CD Universe anyway, and they won’t give a damn about a VPN. I’ve only been shopping with them since the dawn of the Internet.

CD Universe conveniently has “adult,” too. 😉

I mean I could, but I think I’ll hold for other items to go with it.

rendezvous for prime

Posted on February 28, 2021 by | Leave a comment

That feeling when you stay up all night drinking and order so much from Amazon that it takes two vans to deliver it all on a Sunday. 😱

Actually, there’s nothing for us in those vans this time. It’s an Amazon rendezvous.

We see that in the neighborhood sometimes. Two of them get together and run freight back and forth.
