Free iPod induced Vertigo
Alright. I have my 10th person for this Free Photo iPod Thing. A good friend of mine (graduated a year ago) has agreed to do this offer in exchange for a discount on a piece of hardware I am selling him. That makes the total cost of this free iPod like $100 in advertising across Adsense, Fark Classifieds, and Rate the Offers (which I didn’t pay for, but that is a whole different ball of wax).
Anyways, I don’t want a 60GB MP3 Player. I mean, it would be nice, but it is overkill. I want a 30GB engraved with my name and the URL of this website, in case this one is stolen like my first free iPod was. I figure if it has my name on it, it has little resale value and if it is “lost” it is more likely to be given back to me. Plus I get the education discount now that I am a college student and there is no sales tax (nor shipping) since I am buying it online.
So, now I have to figure out what I am going to do with the $100 I am going to make selling it on eBay. I had a copy of Sure E2c earphones (absolutely amazing), but that is $99. I don’t really NEED a dock (It would be nice, but that is $35). I DO need some sort of a cover, but those are reasonably inexpensive. Bah!
