I'll agree with that, I bought an mp3 player a couple of weeks ago, the next day Amazon sent me an email for the beastselling mp3 players.
I mean why? Just in case I didn't like the 1 I bought? In which case at least give me a week or two and then make the subject of the email "about the turkey you bought last week - we have better ones".
