my dog is named smackers

I do apologize for one thing. I probably should have posted this elsewhere or not at all. Next time I want to post something Ill email you guys with the details and you can tell me if I can post it and where

Dude, the 2-Disc SE is on sale at Best Buy this week for 17.99. It's not much better than preorders, but you get it day of release!

-Beebs

DUDE! THANKS!

Kind of strange, Amazon actually sent me an extra copy of Dinosaur CE for free just a couple weeks ago that I did not order. I called them to inquirer and ended up sending it back to them and they thanked me for catching their error. If I use your rationale they actually meant to send me that disc for free without any questions asked (however once I called it was a different situation then the way you think). I am not going to argue with those who cannot see what is clearly right and wrong. Some may never learn, but hopefully they may grow up one day....

ya ok MasterJ, enough already. You and your other buddies here are the most honest and god fearing people in DVDTalk world. We are all gonna burn in Hell and you are all going to heaven to serve under the almighty himself. Congrats

No one brought religion into this subject so I am not sure what you are referring to Hell for, but if you have a guilty conscience...

All I did was post what my feelings were on the issue, but it seems like some (you actually seem like a decent person Deadman31, well the last post was a bit sarcastic) cannot discuss things in a civil and mature manner without retorting to attacks or just plain inane posts. Intelligent dialogue is a thing of the past it looks like, but in the end it is nothing more than a reflection on the character and intelligence of the poster who decides to post the ridiculous.

Anyone else think this should be closed.

All sarcasm was intended. Im a firm believer in expressing yourself. Im also a firm believer in sticking up for yourself. A certain amount of frustration sets in when you try to make somebody see something you way and they cant. That is something I have to work on to better myself. All I wanted to do was express my happiness with my deal, with Amazon and share it with you guys. to be labeled a thief and all the other things I was labeled shows that nobody in these forums is interested in something unless they can put it down

Too early to begin the "IBTL"?

and this helps me how? thanks for posting, not.

actually, purplechoe, it does help you. If you ever arrive in a similar situation, you will be able to draw on experiences of others in order to decide on the proper course of action.

Oh, and by the way, thanks for posting, NOT. You're comments were of real value.

What? Like you buy stuff online and don't check your credit card statement or check e-mail confirmation to see if you were charged the right amount. Do I have moron written on my forhead. Of course I'm gonna e-mail Amazon and tell them about their mistake. I think the point of his thread was that he got all of those dvds for so cheap, but how is that going to help me. He posted this in the bargain forum.

I'll keep you guys posted next time Amazon screws up my order, just so you know, because it never happend before.

anyone ever see "devils advocate" and what it says about evil lurking on every corner, you're never forced into doing bad things, they're just laid in front of you as a test....

i guess someone failed

Deadman, You really shoundn't talk about these things in open forums, because there are amazon.com reps scanning these boards, which could lead to trouble, and less gc's for us.

I can't believe this thread has gone on for this long! Deadman31 did nothing dishonest. He was fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of Amazon's intended generosity. Not once did he say he pissed and moaned until they placated him with a GC, they offered! You people are unreal... Deadman31, I hope this doesn't discourage you from posting in the future for fear of a morality lashing.

I can agree with the lack of relevance to a bargain but if it's in the wrong forum an admin will move it. If it's inappropriate they will close it. If you could give a rat's a** what he has to say move on and the post will drop off the charts. I have seen far more worthless posts than some guy posting his excitement over his good fortune that do not get a second thought.
So cut him some slack and move on. Had Amazon not given him a GC and just corrected the billing error I doubt this guy would pitch a fit to their CS. But since they did send him a GC his options are
1) Use it.
2) Destroy all traces of it for fear of what ramifications it may have on the universe.
3) Give it away to you people who would gladly use it without any thought as to its origin(despite all the above vilifying).

Use it and don't think twice about it.

Just like I was on the receiving end of a free Dinosaur 2 disc CE I mentioned earlier in this thread, they wanted to send me for free??? The best route would have been to contact Amazon and inquire about the credit to his account especially after his credit card was already credited. They may have meant to give him money for free, but I know for a fact at least in my case they gave me a free DVD but had no intention of doing so due to a mistake.

Why should Deadman be discouraged from posting? This is an open forum and by it's very nature means there are going be different views and opinions. If you cannot handle what others think then post elsewhere. Trust me, the internet allows you to do this. People can agree to disagree but do not need to turn to childish retorts, but maybe thats expecting too much....

Master J

It would be one thing if Deadman received a duplicate item. However, Amazon has a history of giving $10 - $15 credits as a way of making up for their mistake in hopes of keeping you as a loyal customer. This used to be standard practice in retail. When I worked in customer service at a grocery store, we tended to give out gift certificates to customers who had legitimate complaints.

If Amazon did not have this history, I would agree with you, but a search of the forums will reveal that many people have received extra credit in their Amazon accounts when Amazon has made an error. One of the reasons why their CS is among the best.

The thought of not posting on these forums anymore has crossed my mind, but Im not gonna let it get to me. Im happy with what I got, and I know I didnt do anything wrong.

My cats breath smells like catfood...

Thank you, please drive through.
