Can I Get a Mulcher With That, to Go?
Here’s another sign Amazon.com might be slipping. They have a “gold box” promotion that allows you to buy deeply discounted items, but only if you act within 60 minutes. Their info page promises the “offers are assigned based on the stores in which you've previously shopped,” but I have my doubts. I buy mostly books from Amazon, along with some CDs and electronic equipment. You might think they’d load up the gold box with impulse buys, things you’ve thought about getting and might just add if it’s not too expensive. Yet here’s a list of some of my exciting gold box offers:

Black & Decker MM275 18" Electric Mulching Mower: $139.49
