Amazon.com goldbox?
Does anybody know anything about this goldbox at amazon.com? Is everybody getting the same offer or are these customer specific? I got an offer for a camera, binoculars, and a CD player. Nothing I really want. I guess I will check back after 24 hours.

I signed in with 2 different accounts and got different items except for 1 (a rice cooker). I might be wrong but my guess is they have a certain number of items, and then randomly pick from that when you click. Most of the prices weren't that great (15-40% off) anyway.

Lots of repeats, looks like a limited selection.
An occasional good deal (I GOT a three cup rice cooker), but definitely hit or miss.

I just noticed this for the first time five minutes ago. Nothing I wanted, seems like a neat feature though. How often do we get new offers in our gold box?

So what of the comments on the DVDTalk homepage about people seeing incredible DVD deals in their goldbox?
All I've seen in mine thus far are for kitchen-type stuff. And I don't care how good they are, or how good a deal Amazon is offering me, I can't imagine spending $25 on a pair of scissors.

I don't see no damn gold box.
I signed in. I haven't bought anything from them since December.
Does it only work at a certain time each day?

I just clicked on today's Gold Box, and the 5th offer that came up was the Harry Potter DVD, for $12.79. And it's even the widescreen edition! 
I already have it, anyway. But I'm glad a DVD finally came up; I was beginning to get discouraged!

The only way I think I'd buy Vanilla Sky would be if it was that cheap, so I'm kinda hoping it pops into mine. But all I got was wine glasses and a George Foreman grill. I've never bought anything from their kitchen store. In fact, the only thing I've bought that wasn't a book, CD, DVD, or video game was my DVD player. Oh well.

This is driving me nuts! Do they only give you a gold box if you have an established an account??? I bought from them... why aren't they offering anything? Cripes.
