    The best way is to ebay (or anything that is similar) it. Or, you could put it in ur mixer, stir fry it.. or even oven it in the microwave.. it makes spectacular fireworks. It's MAGIC!

    Low-end Canon printers are better than low-end HP ones.

    my silver one sold for $160. I just posted ads in all the forums I go to. I don't really trust ebay anymore as there are too many scammers and the fees they charge you really start to add up.

    probably the black 30 gig ipod or the black ipod nano will sell the easiest.

    Actually I disagree, masterchef; black iPod Nano is most desirable but I don't think it will sell the best because of its much higher price.

    The silver will most likely sell the best as it is most popular (even in the 4 GB space). But I like the PRODUCT (RED) iPod Nano too.

    the black ipod nano doesn't cost more than any other ipod nano...

    4GB or 2GB? As far as I know, the 2GB is silver only.

    And you could always give it to me, I wouldn't mind having another iPod ;)

    Assuming you can sell the printer and iPod at 75% cost, that 2.4GHz MBP doesn't seem so far off in terms of price. :D

    you can definitely get the red. apple just sent it to me.

    quick amazing apple customer service story: apple sent me the 4gb red nano free (no rebate required!) after I told them I was never offered the free ipod with mac purchase deal when I ordered over the phone. I talked to customer service yesterday about this and received my nano in the mail TODAY. my first ipod and I am very impressed. I think i'm an apple lifer now.

    I like the red iPod Nano, but I wouldn't buy it. Its too colourful for me :p. I would get the silver one. I'd say the silver one would sell faster; although the red iPod Nano sold extremely well, according to Apple.

    Don't they give you a voucher for an iPod? Maybe you could sell the voucher, and the buyer could choose their color preference... or add money to get one of the 8gb/30gb iPods.

    Otherwise, I'd probably get the red. Resale value is probably about the same, and at least a little bit of the money goes to charity.

    I thought the same thing, until I saw someone using one a couple days ago. I quite like it.

    No unfortunately it's not a voucher. You buy the iPod at retail price and then they send you a rebate. Still not a bad deal. I plan on selling the iPod, my old 60GB iPod Photo & the free printer (same deal with rebates BTW) to subsidize either an iPhone or a new iPod if they in fact turn out to be the 'iPhone without the phone' iPods that people think they might be.

    That said, I will be getting the Red iPod Nano. It looks the best and who knows, I might keep it for when I go running.

    That is exactly what I am doing. The red is sexy, and it's for a great cause.
    Order online and you can inscribe on it also....but I haven't decided if that's tacky or not?

    Besides, you do not have to get the iPod if you don't need it or want the hassle of selling it.
    Just choose '"No Thanks"...
