What Does " Add to Wishlist " mean???

[chris103610]

i've been seeing this on almost every online retailer and i never knew what it meant?

could someone educate me? Thanks.

does the company do give away's sometimes? and if you have a wish list you can possible get that item? that's how i see it.

It's the opposite of " Remove from Wishlist "

you add everything to the wishlist, then you send it to a friend/family member and they know what you want and can buy it online from that retailer.

I'ts a list of stuff that you are not necessarily buying at the moment, but you want to remember that they are there the next time you go into that online store.

Is it similar to Amazon's wishlist? I can't believe poeple actually fulfilling those for complete strangers but perhaps if your close relatives knew your profile, they could look up your wishlist and make buying presents a little more predictable.

It's like a registry list.

As a kid you've never had a list of stuff you wanted that you would give to your parents (a 'wish list' even)? This is the same thing but in electronic form.

I just use it to keep track of stuff that I want and to monitor price changes.

If you wish hard enough you'll get it. True story.

ohhhh.

lol. it's kinda stupid then isn't it?
i mean how many people know your profile ???

well i guess you can always email people your profiles to different retailers.. but that's kinda selfish?

Thanks for replys

I don't see the issue, all my friends and family can search on amazon for my wishlist and get gifts that

a) They know I want
b) That I don't already have.

if i asked you what the onset of LRP in muscle emg signify's during movement and you didn't know, would that make you stupid?
and if for some odd reason you really wanted to know, and you asked someone, would that make you "stupid" for asking?

not knowing something doesn't imply stupidity. There might be a correlation but not a causation. Big difference.

I don't see the issue, all my friends and family can search on amazon for my wishlist and get gifts that

a) They know I want
b) That I don't already have.

but my question is this. Say you have an Amazon account, and you have a wishlist. For people to know that you have this wishlist you have to tell them about it. making it seem like they have to get you something off this list..

do you know what i mean? i'm just saying that it's not like a wedding where people know what's going on and that you are registered, in this case, you're going out of your way to let people know you have this amazon account with a wishlist...

but that was a useless rant, what is signifcan't to someone may not be to someone else. so i guess i had NO RIGHT to say it was stupid. so i apologize if that statement offended you.

Well most people use it for themselves. It's like eBay where you add a bunch of items you're interested to the list. It doesn't necessarily have to be shared with others, it just makes it easier when there are a bunch of items you're not sure about getting or want to shop around first.

I keep wishlists for most companies that have free shipping over a certain amount. Or companies from the states with really high shipping costs.

Say I hear about a book that only costs $10 from a co-worker/friend/read about it online/whatever. I check it out, and add it to my amazon.ca wishlist. Eventually, the wishlist is greater than $40 and I check out for free shipping. When the time comes to check out, you can really have a good look at what you previously thought was a good idea to buy (by that time there may be more reviews or whatnot).

Amazon, chapters and mec are the only 3 I can think of off the top of my head that I use. I've probably got something on my wishlist from backcountry, REI or campmore if I went and looked.
