Or maybe Amazon is on the right track with Listmania. Not that my idea <em>wouldn't </em>work for what you described. You could always "click through" the URL, get to the shopping cart, and then REMOVE any items you don't want. No reason you have to buy all of them, even though it's set up that way for your convenience. Well, if it’s just a list you’re after, we may as well just use the systems that are already in place.

I especially like the premise that someone could create a "permalink" to a customized list of items - perhaps I wouldn't want them all added to my cart, but I'd want to see all the items as though it was a search on amazon of "Arlo's favorite books" or on Dell with "Alro's tricked out WoW gaming machine"... To give me a list (rather than a cart) would allow me to customize my order to my own pocketbook as I'm often behind the curve of your toy purchases, Mr. Moneybags. I like the idea.
