On May 9, 2006, I dropped $11.86 on the Black Market Baby CD Anthology. According to my order history, that is the first thing I bought on Amazon.

I'll take it.

You?

June 21, 1998, I dropped $19.94 on the Yobs Xmas 2 CD.

It wasn't until 2012 that I started to get a little crazy and had 41 orders that year. That was pretty consistent # orders until 2015 when I had 91. 2017 jumped up to 165 dipped into the 130 level and up to 188 last year. 74 so far this year. So, I guess I am placing an order every other day basically.

January 7, 2008
Philips Avent Isis iQ Duo Twin Electronic Breast Pump
$226.95

At least on the app, my history only goes back 3 months

But I feel like the first thing I bought was the Leeway CD with the first two albums on it, in early 2001.

My account order history only goes back to 2008, (I probably previously ordered as a "guest" and didn't actually set up an account until 2008) but I think I ordered Govt. Issue You on CD back around the year 2000.

Older calculator crapped out and I needed to get ready for my PE exam

When you get 5% cash back using an Amazon Prime credit card it makes it so much easier for me to make a decision on buying from them versus someone else. I make hundreds of dollars more on the 5% cash back than it costs for the fee for Prime.

On July 6, 1997 I bought "In the Cut" by Susanna Moore and the essay anthology "Stranded: Rock and Roll for a Desert Island". Cuz that's what you bought in Amazon back then - books.
I wouldn't buy my first non-book items until August 1998 (a couple Joan of Arc CD's).

And I thought I was an early adopter of Amazon!

FWIW, I also had one of the very first Netflix accounts. Was getting DVDs in the mail back in 1997.
Didn't invest in either company when they went public. Whatevs.

September 5, 2000 - a VHS of This is Spinal Tap.

I thought that it was Beth Orton's Central Reservation CD in late 1999, but I may have bought that online somewhere else around that time period. It was Buckcherry's debut Lp (6/19/1999), also on CD. I also thought it could've been Echo and the Bunnymen's Songs to Learn and Sing CD (bought on 1/10/2000).

I think I started with Netflix in 2003 when I was out of work for a few months. As soon as I would get 5 DVDs in the mail, I would make a copy of them and send them back to get 5 more the next day. At that point, it was a flat monthly fee so the more I could make copies of the better. That lasted for a few months and then I cancelled. I don't have a digital subscription to Netflix.

Sept. 29, 2002 - Star Wars Trilogy DVD Set, "Wide Screen" Lol

9/11/03 - I bought Colin MacInnes’ Absolute Beginners and a book about the Philadelphia Black Mafia.

NGL, I would not peg you a Buckcherry fan.

I'm generally not and I never bought anything after that, but also NGL that album has maybe 3-4 really good songs. The rest is pretty forgettable iirc. They were just doing a revival of '70s hard rock and late '80s GNR type stuff and I've always liked that kind of stuff.

Don't remember. I don't have my original account anymore. Odds are it was a CD of some sort.

I can‘t remember. I think I ordered only 1 thing at Amazon 15 years ago and then never again.
I can‘t stand this company. I prefer small local shops and was never disappointed.

RKL - Riches To Rags CD in 2004

I'd never heard this album until a good friend played some of it for me last year. I like it, but it sounds more like a Josef K, early Orange Juice, or Fire Engines album or something like that compared to what Paddy would do later.
