How to sort items. I've read a lot of people ask "how did you find that?" Amazon has really cool sorting sections on the left sidebars, so for example, you type in the item you're looking for in the search bar. Maybe you need something for a little Dora fanatic. Start in the search bar, typing "Dora."
* Choose the category you want (home and garden for bedding items, toys and games, books, etc) on the left.
* The next area has an age range, so narrow it down that way.
* After that, you can narrow down items further by the type of toy or game.
* Further down, you can choose Prime Eligible, or Eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping. This saves you the disappointment of finding the perfect item with $10 shipping.
* Next, sort by ratings. I like to look for items with 4 stars or higher when it has to do with electronics, but I'm less picky for some items. This is up to you.
* The next area you can narrow is by price range. I've found this one doesn't work very well, and some things that are higher priced will slip in occasionally.
* You can further narrow it down by looking for items that are a certain % off
* Then I will often also choose to only look at items sold by Amazon (because I know how their customer service is, I don't like unpleasant surprises.)
Did you know that you can trade in your used DVDs at Amazon to get Amazon gift cards? They even pay for the shipping. It's a great way to get some of the extra clutter out of your house.
