Yesterday I had a wish list item granted (Trick or Treat) I accepted the request and today the sender marked as could not mail. That has happened several times before and it always returns the item to my wish list in the #1 position. The system did that but now I am 2nd in line (2 out of 2 wishers) Its not a big deal but had always thought when that occured it kept your place in line.

The problem may be that while you had to wait for them to accept that the next person was still amassing points. That or maybe someone came off hold during the same?

Thanks. Like I said its no big deal. I am sure I will move it way down the list and I will stay #2 for awhile. Its just not a priority title for me although I would eventually like to get it.

This happened to me today. I bought a Blu-ray for a buddy and then posted it to her wishlist. There were two showing who want it, but since I posted it through her wish list, I thought, no problem. I pay for the transaction and discover it is not my buddy. I was pissed! I cancelled the transaction and sent a note revealing my irritation. Still waiting on how this happened.

I am also livid, I went from first to fifteenth in line for I Bought A Vampire Motorcycle. I don't know how it happened. Forget the Oscar nominated films, in this one, an evil spirit summoned ends up possessing an old Norton Commando motorcycle. Tom Hanks, Gary Oldman, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Morgan Freeman all auditioned for the role but didn't have the acting chops to pull it off. I'm going to get to the bottom of this trust me, I will avenge all of you.

Looks like someone may be posting a stack of them, the line is already down to 7 wishers!  Hang on to those ape hangers, your turn will come!

Hi Dayna,

Is it possible your friends wasn't expecting you to do this and happened to be out of credits when you posted the DVD to her wishlist?

Sounds like something a guilty moderator would say.
