Question...do I have to completely place my order before the "Share The Love" option becomes available?

And can I go ahead and place my order after someone "shares" my address?

If this works like I think it does, I'll pop over to the trekBBS and star an STL chain with the many known Browncoats over there (and the new wordeforge board for those who know what I'm talking about)

I am replying to TRS80 only because he is above me. I am not talking about him in anyway, just making a generalization.

The generalization is this:

Christ, 10% is like saving 3 bucks. I would have paid double, triple, more, for this DVD of Firefly.

Why worry about 3 bucks, why purposely lower the total revenue of this DVD? Uniting to save three bucks only hurts Joss's presentation of the commercial value of Firefly. Can't you all pick up pennies between now and December and get yer 3 bucks somehow?

I'm not sure Amazon looks at it like that....the discount is their way of "buying advertising" with you.

It's built into their profit margin...it doesn't affect Joss' take or the reporteed revenues at all, AFAIK.

The $3 comes out of Amazon's cut and it's so much "overhead" to them.

I don't think you have to worry about the revenue stream to ME.

OTOH, the "shareing" greatly increases the potential base of buyers which not only DOES increase ME's revenues, but also promotes the visability which comes from being on a best-seller list.

IMHO.

Yeah...but...when you buy as many copies as I'm going to, 3 bucks per is A LOT of money!!

Cool, I take it all back (what is AFAIK?). I was primarily concerned with the reported gross revenue of this fine product.

I do believe that Share the Love can help increase buyers.

Yes, I bought three, and forgot to give Maniac's email. I just chose, "No thanks, please continue..."

So, please forget what I said above.
