  1. You don't have to have a credit or debit card that is actually hooked to a bank account. My son hooked a prepaid american express. It just has to have an expiration date. His is actually empty, but it doesn't even matter. It is just to prove that you live in the united states. That is it's only purpose. He still uses gift cards to buy everything. It's only for buying the apps because apps can't be purchases outside the united states and the card is the only way to prove it. His brother had given him that prepaid american express for his birthday and it had an expiration of 2019, so he just added it for his required card. HE can now get all the daily free apps and if he wants to buy one he adds a gift card .
  2. I got that email, but the wii u games were already included in the old sale as long as they were under 50.00. THe email I got yesterday was come in to teh store and buy any wii u game and get one 40% off. I may be wrong but I am going to try it in a minute. My son's wii u shipped on Friday.
  3. My son told me it's a federal regulation. I don't know if that's true, but after our last cellphone ugrade we had 9 total in the house. The kindle chargers had a defect and if you go on the forum, there is one thread that goes back 2 years, with over 2000 posts now, of their coating crumbling off the kindle chargers. Kindle was giving 20.00 credits, and the stupid people were just buying a new one. We were all telling them not to do that. Take that 20.00 and buy a cheap 5.00 one and use the other 15.00 on books or something. The new one is just going to crumble too.
  4. I know, I was just being sad about it.
  5. The new kindle updates have pretty good parental controls. You can go to amazon.com/kindle help forums and read about them.. I bought my 6,8 and 10 year old grandkids tablets, they already have them in their school. As of next year, our school district is going all tablet. There will be no textbooks. I think they need to learn to use them and the fire is the cheapest, quality tablet to do that on.
  6. My sons Wii U shipped today. Wasn't expecting it until Tuesday. That's the day I had circled on the calendar anyway. He will be excited. He's been saving his money since early spring. His wallet was sitting on the computer desk this morning , so he was counting it again during the night. He ordered the Deluxe Black console.
  7. If you have cell phones, you don't need this. Over on the kindle forums, we advise people not to waste your money on these over priced chargers. Your cell phone chargers work just fine or the cable that comes with it chargers it just fine also. You can buy an adapter for .99 . I bought one myself for 2.50 that had a double port on it. It is overpriced just because it has kindle printed on it. I have 9 cell chargers in the house that all work fine, we just use them.
  8. Agreed, my dad and husband are both union. My dad retired with a pension of over 2000 a month plus his social security on top. My husband makes 31.00 an hour, plus an annuity on top plus insurance that doesn't come out of our check. His annuity is in tens of thousands and when he retires in 3 years at age 56, his pension will be full pension, with the annuity paid on top of that. When he doesn't work , his unemployment is over 2500 a month, which isn't very often and because he is union, he isn't required to look for work. The unions are a wonderful thing.
  9. Wont work for me. All 4 Wii U games I need re 59
  10. If you want it in 2 boxes you have to put that its a gift, otherwise they put the shipping label right on the kindles box.
  11. No they arent useless. I bought Pandigitals. Cnet reviews says they are the best of the los price tablets. My grandson buys plenty of apps and stuff and it has an ereader and we put tons of music on his. He gets on the internet. I bought 2 more for his sisters because he had so much fun with his,
  12. The link is not currently active. I was able to type in daily steals manually and go there
  13. http://www.thenorthfaceguru.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=53 http://www.ehow.com/how_6153476_tell-north-face-denali-jacket.html Ebay even has a guide on it, that's how common it is
  14. I know last year on here it was reported Rei had problems getting in fake ones, but I think they are supposed to be a dealer. THe website I found said that there are so many tons of fake shipments of name brand things coming in from overseas you wouldn't believe it. On facebook, there are tons and tons of Nike shoe ads, If you go to the page, your virus protection goes nuts . I googled it, they are pirated knockoffs. Most of the bazaars this time of year that have the small person selling the coat and stuff half price are all knockoffs. The website I was on said most all of ebay north face are knockoffs.
  15. The different colors are different prices. I love these cases. They are just like the Ipad cases. My son has one on his fire. He props it on his pillow at night and goes to sleep watching Netflix. Even the leather one is only 15 or so. Marware cases are very nice. Most of the people on amazon forums use them. The corner tab cases and slide in cases aren't as secure. The fire can slide out.
  16. They gave it to me directly.
  17. That happened to me, they sold out. I called them and thats when they told me to ask for in house pricing. I got a 170 denali jacket for 90.
  18. I found a website that shows the differences. Easiest way is to see is the seller is listed on North Face as a dealer. Only other way is to send item to North Face for it to be auth enticated and request a refund. I was going to buy from a place called North Face Outlet . That was not real. Just a knockoff company from China. Crawfords was another bad one. Possibly your place is using backcountry, which is real dealer, to sell fake goods under outlet name. You can call North Face also. I did that too.
  19. http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Lightweight-MicroShell-Folio-Marware/dp/B005V2EVBQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=fiona-hardware&ie=UTF8&qid=1352992484&sr=1-2 These r the snap in ones I buy for my kids. Not as cheap, but Marware are very good cases
  20. No, if it is a lightning deal the price will not change in your cart. It has to be clicked on directly from the lightning deal and then it will say deal claimed as you are only allowed one deal. You will have 15 minutes to pay and check out. If it is just a price change, then the price will change in your cart however. But it sounds like it will be lightning deals like the kindle fire was on Monday.
  21. Backcountry .com is a north face dealer so their outlet would just be last years styles. When I needed a north face coat last year I discovered a large majority of the online coats are knockoffs. I went to north face and there is a list of their dealers on there. I ended up buying from sunny sports. They were wonderful. They sold me a new model for a very low price. They told me to always ask for an in house price. They aren't allowed to put them on sale. North face forbids it. 6pm.com has good north face prices also. They had infant coats half price last week.
  22. mine shipped 8 am
  23. To put them on dvd you have to have a dvd recorder, they run 150. Dont buy the Magnavox everyone carries. They are made by some Funaii corp and wont last. I bought an awesome Panasonic one this summer from Amazom for 139, regular 250, it was an open box return. I love it. Even has an sd slot and I can record my dishnetwork while watching something else because it has tuner whicch most dont.Keep in mind you cant dub copyrighted movies, only home movies with the same combo. To dub copyrighted movies it takes a separate vcr. I have 40 dvd's of home movies done so far. It makes me dizzy watching them play whike recording. 20 years worth. So nice tho. My youngest is 15 and oldest 27
  24. I think its about time. It makes it fair for all those people waiting for hours only to find out someone bought the items the day before.
  25. Its like that here too. My son is 15 and getting the tree was always something the kids did with their dad. He wont do it anymore and lasy year they kept asking where the rest of the tree was. I bought a nice expensive rotating one after xmas last year, but I will be the only one decorating since my son let his kids move away. They always made it fun. My grandma died in Jan at age 93 and my mom gripes all the time about shopping and nobody being there. Well. I guess me and my 3 kids and their kids dont count.
