So, over 3 months ago, I won an ipod nano. One month went by. No word on my prize! I emailed. Response was "we're still waiting for it to come in." 2 more months go buy & I was getting ready to send another inquiry when, lo and behold, the radio station called! YES! Amazingly enough, the ipod nano was IN!
I picked it up yesterday. It's an 8 gig green nano, new in box. I have an ipod classic. I have an iphone. This little nano is SO very pretty. It's as if it's begging me to open the package and play with it.
So tempting but...alas, I have no need for another ipod and I could really use the money.
If I sell it (ebay or craigslist), what could I realistically get for it? If I can't get at least $100, it's probably not worth my while to sell it. I looked at the local craigslist and it's difficult to tell if anyone's been getting $100+ for 4th gen nanos.
If I don't sell it, I could give it to my dad for his birthday (Friday) even though he's not much of a music fan, doesn't have a Mac running at least 10.4.11 (min Mac requirement), does have an XP laptop and probably wouldn't use it much, if at all.
I could keep it. But then what? If I were to keep it, I can't see myself using it much.
It had been previously mentioned that I could try taking it to the Apple Store to see if I could exchange it for something else.
In short, I'm at a loss for what to do with this poor little nano. Half of me says it would be a sin to give it up; the other half says I wouldn't use it, so why keep it?
What to do?
