OT: Amazon can't build a decent website

[Bob Eager]

But not until you have selected a 'department'.

[The Natural Philosopher]

What does that mean?

I type in 'mens underpants' and it list them by price.

Irrespective of 'department'. Whatever that may mean?

And working for me too now. I guess it was just a glitch. I assumed it was a permanent fault, as they've always had a dodgy website.

It remains to be seen if they're competitive with Ebay though. In the past I've found 90% of things cost less on Ebay, and there's about 4 times more choice. Probably due to Amazon's extortionate (well they were when I tried to sell computers on there 5 years ago) fees.

There used to be "exchange bookshops" (not talking about universities) where they gave you back half what you paid for the book. Then it was resold for slightly less than the cover price, dropping when the book became tatty. The store stamped their name inside the cover to identify it as theirs - unless you asked them not to.

And I still have a number of those books purchased from such a shop in Bedminster, Bristol in the early 70s, complete with the stamp.

A young girl had not been feeling well and went to her family doctor. "Y= oung lady," the doctor began, "you're pregnant." "But that can't be. The only men I've been with are nudists, and in our= colony we practice sex only with our eyes." "Well my dear," said the doctor, "someone in that colony is cockeyed."
