An Eminem CD in July of 2005 .

That started it all. I use Amazon religiously now (194 orders placed last year).

My first purchase was a CD on June 4, 2000: Phuture 2000 by Carl Cox.
My next ten purchases were mostly anime with some live action movies thrown in.

A DVD set- Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth, on August 12, 2001.

Apparently, a Selle San Marco Concor Lite Saddle on April 13, 2005.

2002, a pair of headphones.

June 3, 1997.

Two books: "Old Roses and English Roses" by David Austin and "Real Options : Managerial Flexibility and Strategy in Resource Allocation" by Lenos Trigeorgis

July 2009 a Kindle

Two other orders that year, window AC unit. We had a heatwave and no local store had any, even with price gouging, and a couple of books.

2017- 199 orders
2018- 35 so far

2012 Edwin Jager razor

03/01/2003 Tex Avery’s Screwball Classics, Volumes 2 and 3. Cartoon shows.

December, 2000. I purchased a host of Christmas gifts for friends and family. I have always been completely satisfied with amazon. I hope they never change - never become too big to care about their customers.

It says the first order was Jan 1999.

But before that, I remember standing (actually sitting) in line at the CA DMV, waiting to replace my lost drivers license, and reading the Amazon IPO prospectus. IIRC I read the whole thing before my number was called.

Mine was for the textbook ‘Student's Solutions Guide for Use with Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications’ purchased on 1/21/2003.

1999. Several books, and some CDs.

Wow! I can't believe people remember this kind of crap. "My first Amazon order" is not like "My first time", you know?

I must have been late to the party. First purchase was in 2010, a Kindle for my mothers BDay. Next purchase was in 2011. I made 14 purchases that year, everything from replacement screen cover for my blackberry to a replacement battery for my laptop.

You don't have to remember it. Your Amazon account contains your entire order history.

Takes about 90 seconds to find the answer to this question.

Feb 1999 Windows NT Clustering Blueprints.

Can’t even vaguely remember that book now.

I do remember my last order, made yesterday, will be delivered tomorrow.

July 24, 2008. A collection of John Steinbeck stories. Second thing was a Bostitch reconditioned hardwood floor nailer. Literally a third of the price of a new one at Lowe's.

1995-1996 when it was only a bookstore. Back then Amazon would send a customer appreciation gift at Christmas.

The oldest order in my history on their current website is dated April 22, 1997 for a Linux book that cost $58.
