Y'all! This is heeeelarious. You have to read it.

Okay. So I decided to stop moaning about Amazon selling my Black Bed Sheet Edition of Never Ceese for $3.00, less than I can get it for, and instead went to purchase about $25 dollars worth of them so I could qualify for Super Saver free shipping like the ad reads. But now the books are selling for TWO DOLLARS AND FORTY ONE CENTS OMG!!! I've hit the jackpot. Hey, any way to make a buck, right? So I add 20 copies to my cart and all at once it says I can get $10.00 off my purchase if I sign up for an Amazon.com Credit Card. REALLY!!! Wow, I was about to REALLY CLEAN UP on this deal!!! So I sign up, I get my $10.00 off and hit purchase . . . . *wait for it* . . . What's this? There aren't twenty books available at that price???? My book is Print On Demand. What are they talking about? So I go back to the book page to see that there are *wait for it again* . . . . FOUR copies available for that price. Guess how many copies Amazon says are in stock . . . FOUR!!! Amazon actually ordered four of my Print on Demand non-returnable books and when no one bought them (because I ask everyone not to buy my books through Amazon) they had to eat them. Oh I'm laughing so hard tears are rolling down my face!!!! I didn't qualify of course, for the free shipping. And the shipping was more than the books costs all together BUT I got ten dollars off my purchase!!!!

I'm howling with laughter now!!!

I just purchased four copies of my book for $7.97 or $2.65 each! False advertising morons. They tell you it's available for Super Saving free shipping if you buy $25 dollars worth of a product and they don't even have $25 worth of what they're selling. So nevermind Amazon isn't giving any deals that you won't find at my publishers site. But every now and then it seems they'll be silly enough to order a few of my books and when they don't sell them, they'll let 'em go for next to nothing. I cleaned up on these four because I'll also get a royalty for the books sold. I know I can't wait until Amazon actually purchases more of my non-returnable books!!!! LOLROFL Gotcha AMAZON! Gotcha good!!! Go ahead. Buy some more. I dare you. ;)

For the record, shortly after I purchased the four books Amazon ordered, they show that Amazon doesn't even sell a new copy of the Black Bed Sheet Copy of Never Ceese. Well, imagine that.
