All I got was a thermal coffee mug and a bunch of silverware. No D-40!

IE6 did not work for me.

Tried Netscape 6.2.

I finally see the gold box on the upper right corner after logging in.

There it was on the 4th item, i see the Olympus camera @ $250.00. The camera will be here in the next few days.

Everyone, if IE doesnt work with you, try Netscape. Wonder if logging in from another computer works?

For these gold box deals do I have to buy the item right at that time? I think I need like an hour or so to convince my dad to spend $250 on this, lol. Also, I could sell this without losing much or any money if my dad really doesn't think it's worth the $250?(another convincing point ). All I got today was was a nose hair clipper thingy:disgust:.

On the gold box deals you get 60 minutes to decide. That's it, and then the offer disappears for good. Don't pass this one up if it comes.

Should that gold box icon be in the corner for me at all times if I'm logged in my account? I haven't seen a goldbox anywhere. I'm curious to see what my offers are. Please help if any of you know more about how these goldbox offers work.

wiredspider, you have exactly 60 minutes after you open your gold box to make the purchase. The box actually has the time you have left to buy a gold box item. I'm sure if you were fortunate enough to get this camera, you could sell it for more than $250. Amazon.com had used D-40's for over $400, I don't remember the exact amount though.

Try Netscape if you dont see it with IE.

NOT considered as a HOT deal. It does not apply for everyone. NOT a fair play. From Amazon mentioned Golden Box offers are assigned based on the stores in which you've previously shopped. However, congrat to those who got this deal. What a luck!!!

 

[esquared]

This is a hot deal for everyone who has purchased at Amazon, (which probably includes most people who frequent this site). It's random for everyone, so if nobody posted it I wouldn't think to check my gold box everyday. Thanks for the post.

 

[RadioactiveMagpies]

Not every one will get it, I don't even have an amazon account.
Even if a handful of people get it from this post, it would have been well worth the post.
This is a sweet camera for $250.

Any site that rates a Pentax in the top 5 just lost my vote for credibility

 

[Bad Dude]

Would you guys care to show me your gold pot too? How do I get there?
Thanks.
