    I've been accidentally following the news on that sale. It sounds like their website removes items when the regional warehouse runs out... but some members have had luck checking back a day or two later.

    Most likely, but it's funny to think it's some dude starring at a massive array of monitors.

    I've done a mod or two
    I use it to donate to the therapeutic horse riding facility I volunteer at. It's so cool that Amazon offers that option, with the volume they see in orders I wonder what the yearly donation total is.

    I know there's a way to check... but I can't remember. If you poke around in the Amazon Smile settings, I think it tells you.

    It is a nice option. Don't even remember how we found out about it, but we save it as our regular Amazon bookmark. Wish they had an Amazon smile app though.

    I don't typically use the Amazon app, but the smile site works well on mobile so it's no biggie for me.

    We need a running total of how many people have participated.
    It's quite a bit for all charities.
