So, I have been using Amazon.com as a way to keep a list for good gift ideas for my wife/parents/siblings/in-laws/friends to look at and figure out what to buy.
I also loved how they have added the feature to add any item from any site to your wishlist. Anyways, this is not a commercial for using this, but a warning. For those of you who like to be surprised by what you get as gifts for birthdays/christmas, never go to look at your own wishlist.
I happen to sign in to another computer and go to view my wishlist to make sure something i added was posted there. It wasn't. I then skimmed the list and noticed quite a few of the items I had put on the list were missing. At the top of the list there was a drop down menu for item type which auot-set to "unpurchased".
If you hit the menu, you can look at "purchased" and "all". I am assuming this would show you what is suggests. I then realized i wasn't signed in as myself and signed into my account.
I then looked at my wishlist again and sure enough the missing items had appeared, and next to every single item that was missing before, i saw "Quantity purchased = 1".
Now, for those of you saying i could have figured out what was missing off the first list and find out what i was getting, you're right, but I was not looking to do that.
Now, that was Friday. Since then, I have not seen the "quantity purchased" come up, and hopefully Amazon fixed this, but i found out what i was receiving for my birthday a day before my parents gave it to me. I also noticed that the drop down menu was on my wishlist page, meaning i could theoretically look all the items purchased for me. I haven't, but I find that to be incredibly odd.
So, be forewarned. Also, if you like to find out what you're getting, you're welcome.
