I lived in St lucia for a couple of yrs. So I got to island hop quite a bit. My wife hasn't been down there, so for her it should be a fun new experience.

but thanks for the well wishes!

Hey do you guys have any suggestions for good desk chairs? I'm trying to stay under $100 but want something comfortable and suitable for a few hours of sitting at least.

Thanks

Thanks for the comments on the kitten, guys! That other one is a cutie! I'm having a lot of fun with him <3. He is a bengal, just turned 3 months old yesterday.

It's hard to find something < $100 that is good for long-term sitting.
If you're willing to spend the cash, I am actually very pleased with this one:

They come in various colors and depending upon the color combo, the price goes up and down. Mine was $265, free shipping and got here in 2 days.

Off topic, but I can't stop staring at your avatar...

Bought myself my first DSLR camera, a Pentax k-r i love it! and yes i bought the white one!

Nice purchase! I saw that exact one while looking for my first DSLR this month, unfortunately it was out of my budget

 

[SchneiderMan]

I'm hungry!

If you display it, you honor it, and you sell it for the screwed up price. That makes me think negatively of both Target and Amazon and also makes me question how careful their online team is when it comes to proofreading and error-correction response speed.

I believe that even without any kind of "terms & condition" statements on both Amazon's & Target's web site, they're generally protected by the law from price mistakes.

Regarding error-correction speed, I'll personally give them my benefit of the doubt. I mean this happened on a weekend..... I would guess that not too many Amazon/Target online team members (the ones that have the authority on this price mistake issue) are working on a Saturday/Sunday, which may probably partly explained the slowness in error correction....

No offense. Heck, even most people here don't work on weekends, do you expect every Amazon/Target "s**kers" to have to work on weekends?

Back on topic. My last purchase was the Dell U2311H monitor from their ebay store that I received a few days ago for $216.49 shipped.

Nice its a really great DSLR but it was expensive cost me 6000 NOK = 1000 Dollars here in norway. Just god myself a job and live home with my parents so why not buy one!

 

[SidewaysTakumi]

Thanks for the replies guys--I'm still looking. The chairs at my work are fairly comfortable and are around $155 retail--I'm trying to find something similar.

I'll keep an eye out.

Try looking for the white Pentax K-x! It's the previous model. You should be able to find them on the cheap now. Looks the same. I got my white K-x when it was the current model new for $450 with kit lens nearly a year ago.

 

[SidewaysTakumi]

So I'm building up my Amazon cart in preparation of my income tax return...thought this was hilarious.

That pentax camera is cute..I like the white color scheme.

@ jessica. The camera is a olympus E-p1. So far loving it.

Just ordered a postal scale and some labels for my parents. I have these at my home in Baltimore, but these seem like great investments for them right now.

That looks a lot like my Herman Miller Celle chair that I paid much more for.. dang. In fact, it looks like it may be more comfy.

Btw, I don't know how to feel about your avatar, but I can't look away!

I've been to Nassau while staying at the Atlantis resort and have passed through St. Thomas multiple times when staying in St. John, most recent being last summer. If you have time to take the ferry and go to St. John, check out Trunk bay, there was another beach I went to that was more secluded(it was probably 15-30 minute walk from the parking lot), but there was more wildlife, including several sea turtles and a baby barracuda if you're there long enough to attempt it.

Even while they canceled my order. No other company has better customer service than Amazon other than Zappos (which is owned by Amazon now).
I love Amazon so much

I completely agree. I had to order a replacement today because a product I ordered over the holidays broke. Responded to my claim, shipped out a replacement (one day shipping too!) in less then 30 min since I made my claim. I will always buy from Amazon

Thanks! I looked at it too, but it was a bit over my small budget too. I ended up buying a Sony Alpha A290, I am loving it!

Good, close your account because Amazon couldn't care less. I mean, what happened to this?



You do realize that there is no reason to honor this pricing mistake, right? You lose more by closing your Amazon account than they do. If it was that important for you to make a stand and declare that you will get your PS3 for that price then it will be equally important for you to shop there next time there is another good deal. I'd bet money on it, let's say $40 and I'll cancel the bet in 2 days.


peapody what camera is that?

I'd pay $1000 for a PS3 before i'd buy one from Amazon for $1 now. And i don't lose anything by closing my account with them. Nothing.

Oh, and to stay with the thread.. i bought some Reese Sticks, a cherry 7up, swiss cheese cheez-it's, and a couple Taylor Thrash songs on iTunes.

I've been using this at home for the past 3 years. Can't beat the price (or the name) and it's comfortable enough.

Just a simple case for my Kindle so I could get rid of my Belkin case that looked like I was carrying a woman's clutch purse... Doubles as a stand.

Also, it's a little more at home looking next to my Macbook with this case. ;D
