Fw Amazon strategy Parrt 2

I realize that there are earlier messages behind each of these, but I'm too 
much in a hurry to edit them out or make sure I don't send duplicative 
stuff.  At least the first message in each of the things I'm sending is 
different from the other two.

Yeah, this worked a little differently, but there aren't a lot of links, and
they all seemed to work right. So, I just experimented a little. At first, I
was clicking the new and used link and getting a listing of all potential
sellers, but since I only wanted to buy from Amazon because of the free
shipping, I figured out that step could be skipped by clicking the link that
said something like Amazon offer.
Admittedly, this scaled-down site isn't ideal, and I truly hope needing to
use it is just a temporary thing, but at least my nephew will get the book
he wants for his birthday.
One more thing, I didn't get an email confirmation of my order which seems
to happen automatically and quickly on the normal site. I just went to the
full site and checked to make sure the order showed up under my account.
It's there.
