I've seen instructions for how to get anything and everything at rockbottom prices on eBay, ranging from hdtvs to dvd players to now iPods. Has anyone actually bought "instructions" like these before? The only thing I've sent off to similar is how to create a hovercraft from Boys' Life Magazine.

I'd love to buy an iPod, especially for cheap. But these things _must_ be a rip off, gotta be.

I'll save you $5.00.

www.freegiftplanet.com

and yes, it is legit. I've received Gran Turismo 3 and an 8MB Playstation 2 memory card from them. I'm about 2000 points away from a PS2.

Although it is damn near impossible to get an iPod now because they removed a lot of their high point offers and substituted them with credit card offers.

Hell, I can even give you my excel spreadsheet with all the offers I've done and the cost of each one, etc. if you want it, just PM me.

what I don't understand is eBay will help the corporations to keep other illegal matters down that are bad for consumers but even more bad to corporations. Yet they won't cancel these info auctions.

I ordered them to make sure the site was legit before going all out for the console.
