<small>Please forgive me for posting this thread in the Bargains forum, even though it does not have a specific bargain inside. It does however directly relate to one of the best bargains that this forum has seen in the longest time!</small>
Here's a few pieces of evidence for the madness that Amazon has created on Thursday, September 7, 2000:
Item 1 - The printout of the list of Amazon's "Movers and Shakers"
The top 10 are the items that really "shook"-up Amazon and our own DVD-Talk today.
<small>check out the % increases and ratings!!!</small>
Item 2 - an exerpt from my own receipt...
Post whatever memorable items (links to items) you've got, and the legend will live on!

The legend will live on? That might be a bit overstated, don't you think?
You obviously missed 800.com's 3 DVDs for $1. Or checkout's 55% off half price. Or...
Tee-hee.

Oh the legendary sweet sweet checkout.com deal. It was back in August of '99. 55% off already discounted prices. THAT was a bargain. I picked up about 20-21 DVDs for less than $200. Others cleaned the place out! Never seen a bargain as massive a scale since. Ah the good ol' days . . .
Anyone ever bother going back to checkout? I never have.

I still can't believe the prices they were selling some of the stuff for today!

Each to his own. I definitely will be ordering from them again expecially if they have something I want at a better price then anyone else. While I disagree with the way they handled the situation they are a business whose main objective is to make money and not lose it.
