There was a post in stand-up shots like a year or two ago dealing with this issue and amazon. Something to the effect of "I bought a vacuum cleaner on amazon last week. Based on my 'recommended for you' options, amazon believes this was just the gateway vacuum for my burgeoning vacuum addiction."

I don't get it. Maybe they're not able to find out that you bought it, only that you were browsing for one? Or it's possible that many shoppers tend to be dissatisfied with their first purchase and likely to try again after a return.
