Knee jerk reaction: Great work. I had a similar idea floating around in my mind and it&#x27;s cool to see something like it come to fruition.<p>Incoherent Rambling: How about expanding to more than one item wishlists that span multiple site APIs and market it as a simple, efficient, online wedding registry replacement?<p>You can rank your items in terms of preference, people can contribute money, then the app just buys and ships the items from the top down until the list is complete.<p>As a wedding gift purchaser I wouldn&#x27;t have to make a trip to some random store and go through the hassle of getting the registry, nor would I have to navigate to a site I may never use again (I&#x27;m looking at you Williams Sonoma) and setup an account to purchase one item.<p>As a bride or groom it would be nice to just supply someone with one short URL when they asked &quot;where are you registered?&quot; without having to go through all the hassle of setting up a ridiculous &quot;we&#x27;re getting married&quot; wedding profile on Yet Another We&#x27;re Getting Married Social Network.<p>Like I said, incoherent rambling. Could result in an interesting tool, though.

Wishlists are so impersonal. Donating funds to someone&#x27;s wishlist takes just a few minutes, and you don&#x27;t even have to speak with the recipient. If the point of gift giving is to strengthen social bonds and show regard for one another, how do wishlists achieve this?<p>That said, if wishlists are your choice, this is an efficient way to handle it.

Here&#x27;s a little blog post about how it started <a href="http://www.peterbe.com/plog/wishlistgranted" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.peterbe.com&#x2F;plog&#x2F;wishlistgranted</a>

The $1 transaction fee seems crazy wasteful to me on purchases under $50 or so. I would consider just buying the whole item for a friend (through Amazon, letting Amazon eat the transaction fee) before I&#x27;d give anywhere from 5-10% extra to a third party.<p>If the average item was $20 and the average contribution was $5, banks would also be making 10% or more per wishlist item when they would normally make 3% or less.<p>That just rubs my cost-effectiveness sensitivities the wrong way.

I like this. Just yesterday I added an item to my wish list that is quite expensive. I know that a single person is not going to want to buy it for me. But if several of them contributed, it would be more realistic.<p>Edit: It also makes a new way to get tips&#x2F;donations. People might be more likely to donate if their money is going to something they can see. You might even get people to donate a little more if they see you are very close to getting the item.

Aha, nice hack, simple and interesting. Actually I launch a wishlist-similar project for this shopping season few days agao: <a href="https://www.shoplify.us" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.shoplify.us</a> , that help people collect their products not only from amazon but from any website. it&#x27;s still in early stage, and there are many features will be release later. Maybe we can do some cooperation if you think it&#x27;s cool :)

Is there any chance this could be made to work with international amazon sites? I tried to enter my amazon.fr wishlist URL, but it said that no such wishlist was found on amazon.com<p>Great concept though!

Neat idea! If a little impersonal. Perhaps adding a personal message field that gets printed on a card and sent along with the package? Theres gotta be a service for that.

This should be marketed to charities, then the public. Unless peace on earth and good will toward all mankind is available on Amazon.

You mentioned $$$ in another comment. May I ask how you will monetize this? (obviously you don&#x27;t have to answer... just curious)

Hmm. I&#x27;m tempted to create a Canadian clone of this (since you only work with Amazon.com at the moment).

Fraud will probably be quite a problem, but nice concept.
