Your very first amazon order

[zinfamous]

I just realized amazon has a pretty good order history and I can still see my very first order.

Here is what I ordered, paid $109.7 back in the day in 2002. it broke and I had to returned this POS anyways

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is that the model that would allow region-free playback? If so, I wouldn't call it POS--well, unless it broke, of course.

There was that Apex, looks a lot like that model, that was highly coveted because of the region-free deal.

Weird, seems to be this, in 2003:

what a shitty game!

I must have been using Ebay more, before Amazon. I figured I would find some mini-DV or DSLR equipment around 2001 or so. :\

Some of the best games ever still to this day.

Theres Win7 versons on GOG and steam.

College Textbooks... the international versions because they were 70% to 95% cheaper than the American versions. :sneaky::awe:

Dark Glory War and Talion: Revenant by Mike Stackpole, January 2002

After that it's mostly text books, recreational reading, and used video games / CDs for a few years, until Amazon started selling more computer components at better prices than newegg.

It's all downhill from there. My recent order history looks like a combination of a Microcenter catalog and grocery list.

This is the order count for me, can kind of tell when our first kid arrived and we figured out Prime was the greatest thing ever:

2002 3
2003 6
2004 2
2005 5
2006 16
2007 18
2008 05 - 01 digital
2009 11 - 02
2010 41 - 04
2011 58 - 75
2012 77 - 31
2013 50 - 32
2014 06 - 01

Of course, for awhile my suggestions consisted of hard drives and nursing bras. I eventually made my wife start using her own account again...

Dec 1999. Pretty in Plaid Barbie. $.99 shipped. I have no idea why I ordered this or what I did with it.

First electronics purchase was 2 VTech V-Talk 1311 2-Mile 14-Channel FRS Two-Way Radios for $33.59 in Oct 2000. Those were a gift.

12-28-99. A Barbie, and two other small toys, total was 17.23. The shipping charge on the order was 6.75, so the goods were only 10.48. That was cheap.

Kinda surprised that I actually bought music back then.

heh...10 orders from 1998-2000. Now I place an order for a few items every other week.

Empire Earth $24.97
I was probably drunk when I ordered it, but damn that was a good game. Wish my other drunk purchases on Amazon were half as good.

First one showing is "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" from 3/30/04 ... pretty sure I ordered stuff from them before that though.

I lost access to that account but it was a 64 MB usb drive, around 2001-2002, Fujifilm if I am not mistaken

[zanemoseley]

Mine was Kaplan GMAT study guides back in 2004, guess it was a good purchase cause I fucked up the GMAT, IIRC I got a 720 / 95% percentile.

Amazon.com only goes back to 1999 for me. The CD Forever Autumn by Lake of Tears. This was when I was at NIU in Dekalb.
