Fifteen in The Box

Well, since at least one person showed interesting in me continuing to post my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers, I went ahead and did all fifteen from today. I may try and post the three most interesting or something like that; doing all fifteen was a pain!

.: Linksys 4-Port Cable/DSL Router: I still have all my router needs fulfilled, so no need to buy one of these.

.: Matchbox Rescue Backpack: I believe this is the third time I've been offered one of these. I'm still going to have to pass on it.

.: P3 International P7906 Vibrasonic Molechaser: can you guess what I thought of the first time I saw this thing and read the word "vibrate"? I have no yard, so I have no moles, so I have no need for this.

.: Disney Guesswords Game: this looks slightly interesting (basically the game Passwords with a Disney theme), but with it being just me and Steven, not a lot of use would be gotten out of this.

.: Dream Star Game: I still don't need any children's toys. when will they stop offering them to me?

.: Super Soaker Ultimate Gift Pack: I've always loved Super Soakers, but with no yard and no one to play with, I'll have to pass on this one.

.: Storm 2000 Monsoon Force 4: another Super Soaker. Going to pass on this one too.

.: Fein 9-11-20 Wet/Dry 6-Gallon Vacuum: still not in the market for a vacuum, no matter how many times they're going to offer me one.

.: Brita 35611 3-Quart Deluxe Water Filtration Pitcher: we've already got a Brita filter, so we don't need another.

.: Marvin's Magic Game: how many kid's toys can they offer me in one box? Pass.

.: Tot Block Pack 'n Play: this was kind of nice looking, but still, no kids.

.: Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 12-Quart Stockpot with Lid: I've checked with Steven before and he says he doesn't need a stockpot.

.: West Bend 41077 Just For Dinner Breadmaker: some day, I may get one of these. A breadmaker sounds so cool.

.: Glider Rocker - Striped Denim: I have definitely gotten this in the pass. As I said then, glider rockers are incredible, but I don't want one that looks like it belongs in a nursery.

.: Norelco 7885 XL Quadra Action Cord/Cordless Men's Shaver with LCD Meter, Silver: Steven is happy enough with his razor that I couldn't justify spending over $100 on a new one.

Do you ever wonder how they chose the items they send you in a gold box?

Do you think they might get a clue and possibly send you only items similar to what you have in the wishlist?

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

I got the cable modem/router thingy in my gold box too. (along with it looks like 5 other things you got too. LOL!) I thought about it for about 30 minutes, but decided against it because I don't know if it will work with Cox (or even if I can /get/ cable internet here in my subdivision.)
