I'm interested in buying outright, though with the new pricedrops and me getting less for the sale of my mini, I'm not sure $240's the right price... I was gonna get a 30gig 3rd gen for $235, but the deal fell through... yours has a cradle, but thats not that big a deal to me... maybe $215 shipped? If you want to keep the cradle we can discuss, I'm guessing $195 without the cradle... e-mail me to discuss though...
