maybe this has been mentioned before, I have ordered from the German & UK site. Would it be possible to use the Gold Box as well, even if you have not ordered from the US site
much appreciated for any info

Ah, all I got was a bunch of toys: two different barbies, matchbox backpack, toybox and an accessory for the gameboy advance.

BTW, I've been getting a new gold box every day for the past week or so. Might have been coinciding with my recent order of 24, a foldable chair and sauce pan from the last Friday sale. Great prices on the Friday sales.

Success! After countless kitchen gadgets (I already have plenty), woodworking and other tools (I live in a condo) and assorted other stuff, I was offered "Buffy: The Complete Second Season" for $22.49. I passed, of course. Just kidding, I snatched it up.

...what have you purchased from Amazon? I'd really like to know how the contents of the box are determined.

Just a quick note to mention that I agree, there is no relationship to past purchases or even past searches. All I've ever bought from Amazon are books and DVDs and software, and today I was offered not one, not two, but three different sized rice cookers.

Still, this "experiment" is fun, in a cruel, scratch-card kind of way.

I finally got a gold box Sunday and have had 1 on Monday and today. The only products I keep getting offered are kitchen products . The first offer had two different rice cookers . I've never bought any kitchen items or even looked at them.

I'd really like to know how the contents of the box are determined.

Like others have said, I don't think they determine what to put into the box based on your past purchases. I believe they choose items at random and offer them in order to get several impulse buys from customers...people who have to have something because it's heavily discounted, even though they'll likely have no use for it.
And I've noticed (both personally and looking at friends' boxes) that the DVD's they offer are often in genres that you wouldn't regularly browse...I mean, I don't know why they keep offering me Black Hawk Down and Behind Enemy Lines, when I rarely look in that section (War, I guess?).
Just my theory.

[Kenneth Cummings]

Last time I got a gold box, half of the content was sold out, meaning they don't restock what they sell.

 

[Andre F]

It came back today but was filled with tools etc. :frowning:
