Mine's up!

I listed mine. I also linked everyone's name to their wiki profile a couple days back.

It was a slow night at work...

Thanks kelly, that was a good idear.

I'm so pleased this is catching on! I have three purchased items (!) and I really want it to be paycheck day so I can start returning the luuuurve!

Is there any way to put a wishlist up that doesn't show the person's last name?

posted by cmonkey 24 February | 18:09

Actually, it looks to me that you can edit your Wish List Settings at Amazon to display whatever name you want. But maybe someone could test it?

Flo, I just changed mine, but the shipping address still shows my last name.

posted by matildaben 24 February | 18:17

I've already done so, folks, and I think it just comes up as Specklet.

posted by Specklet 24 February | 18:18

Specklet is correct. How did you get your shipping address to just show Specklet? When the packages come, are they addressed to "Specklet"?

posted by matildaben 24 February | 18:19

aaaaaahh!

I decided to go ahead and list it, but then I saw that my wishlist had went bye-bye. I added back some things, but I used it to keep track of stuff that people reccomended, that I wanted to find locally to check out first (expensive books, for instance) and that type of thing. I bet at some point I accidentally deleted it. No idea how though. Never remember what all was on it..

Yeah. That's the rub.

On preview: oh that sucks, weretable!

I am now exposing my base desires to the world on Amazon.com.

posted by cmonkey 24 February | 18:50

no, i just added more stuff back to it. the big list had like 200 items or something. =)

posted by weretable and the undead chairs 24 February | 18:52

Weretable likes gardening? Somehow I find that so nifty.

posted by matildaben 24 February | 18:53

At first I was afraid for my privacy, but then I realized I use this name for everything - so stalk away (ie mine's up).

posted by muddgirl 24 February | 19:01

I added mine. I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea and I reserve the right to remove it later, but I did it.

posted by bmarkey 24 February | 19:34

I guess I'm weird (surprise!) but why I don't mind y'all knowing my last name (Clarke) I don't feel comfortable putting up my list.
