Yours no-coupon ever Amazon customer since the last century and then some.
So you want to play with cookies at least, but probably with proxies. |

I won't tell you how i got such a good deal, but one thing I can say is Amazon has the best customer service I've ever experienced on online. There was no manipulation of cookies, proxies nor tricks.  |

Either share the secret, or don't say anything about it. And it's too late for the latter. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | If it's exploiting a bug in Amazon code and they hear about it, here or elsewhere, it will get fixed.
Further, I don't know what the legal issues are around giving out information which can be used to harm others. May be safe, may be not.
Either way, shouldn't such matters be kept to the level of PMs?

I'm just saying if they came after somebody for telling how to beat their system they would come crying about how the big mean individual hurt the poor little giant corporation so badly.
Sorry I wasn't more clear about that
