I don't think I need to remind you what I did to Fred "ReRun" Berry last year, do I?

Oh, I'll Red you somethin'.

(I don't know what that means.)

Could I buy Robotech with that coupon?

Not after tomorrow, you can't.

Might join you on the Rainman Special Edition there.  Lemme take a looksee around Amazon to see if there's anything else worth ordering to get the free shipping...  I'll get back to you in a day or so!

Well, whenever you guys "decide", either shoot me a PM or post here in this thread with your e-mail addresses that you use for your Amazon account, and then I can order the junk and get you the hook up.

Alright, what the hell.  Sign me up for Rainman SE!  Hopefully you didn't place your other order already.  I'm pretty sure my Amazon account is under JediMC@aol.com.

'Kay.  Sent love to you both on the LIT and Rain Man DVDs (and actually, American Splendor too, I think).  Whatever.  

But I'm only doing this because I had a weird dream with you in it last night Virex.  We were playing 2-man Beach Volleyball together, but unfortunately I still never really saw what you looked like.  BTW, you were a pretty crappy player and we lost.  Thanks.  

You can be my wingman anytime.

I think this love sharing nonsense is really starting to mess with my head...  

Welcome to the party, pal. . .

Good news though, 2 more days of January which means a new Suncoast Coupon is about to be unleashed!

Thanks for reminding me.

Keep your love to yourself there, plushy-Boy.  

Prefer to be called a "Furry".  Thanks.

Seriously though, I got this stupid ad the other day when I was buying a Weird Al CD on amazon for my nephew (who is surprisingly enjoying the musical stylings of someone considered old school by people my age).
I sat there and thought to myself "Who could I possibly interest in this discount?"

In the future, I know which thread to visit.

This, I think, could almost be construed as an insult.

 

Anyway, yeah, there's a couple of other things I need to order from Amazon (an Aimee Mann CD and a Sonic Youth CD), but I haven't listed them here yet, because I don't really think that anyone here would be interested in those particular items.

I will admit, though, that I stole got this idea from the DVD Talk forums, where they have an entire section set up for Share the Love requests.  

Like, someone would start a thread called "Want to Share the Love on Schindler's List DVD", and then people will post their e-mail addresses, in the hopes that someone buying the Schindler's List DVD will add their e-mail addresses to their STL thing when they order.

Here's their section, if anyone wants to check it out and get an idea of what I'm trying to do here:

DVD Talk Forum - Share the Love

Or, if you guys would rather I go blow a goat, that's fine, too.

Not a lot else to do here in the great state of Oklahoma.

Would the STL items get shipped to you, and you'd have to then send them to us, or would all the items get shipped to the correct respective recipients?  If the latter, is it a shipping free kinda thing, or is there a shipping charge to tack on as well?

No--I think basically, the STL recipient gets an e-mail that says something to the effect of "so-and-so person has Shared the Love with you on so-and-so product", and then the recipient would go to Amazon and would check the STL section of their account, and then that product would be there to order, just like normal.  And if that's done within a week of the original STL deal, then the recipient gets the 10% off the item, and the STL giver automatically gets a credit on thier account in the amount of the discount (like the example above--if I bought a $15 DVD, and STL with you on it, you'd be able to buy it for $13.50, and then I'd get a credit for $1.50 on my account after that).

The way I tell it, it probably sounds really confusing, but I first shared the love with Scott (wink, wink) a couple of weeks ago, and it worked great.

It's really a pretty cool deal, which does benefit everybody--the getter saves the 10%, and the giver gets the credit.

And as for the shipping--it's just like a regular order, it comes directly to you.  And I'm pretty sure Amazon is still doing their free shipping on orders over $25 thing--so as long as your total is over $25, you'd get free shipping.  

Like I mentioned, you can check Amazon for more details on it if you want.  I just quoted a small portion of their STL details page, but there's a bunch more there about it.

Timeline--that came out around Thanksgiving, no?  Based off the typical six-month window, that would put it around May sometime, probably.  And generally, the studios will announce their DVDs around two-to-three months before their release date.  (They're just now announcing the stuff for late March to early/mid-April).

So, I'll say somewhere around mid-April to mid-May, and, just for sh!ts and giggles, I'll say April 27th--and when they announce it, we'll see how close I was.
