I wonder how the free songs are given, most likely apple contacts you and you give them your account you would like to use for it. If it was, say, a card, I would sell it on ebay as a collectors item for $1200, then get 200 more free songs or buy another ipod. If you sold all but one collectors ipod before you even got them, then you could probably get a whole bunch of ipod mini's and then take them with you to cupertino (i think you get to meet steve right?). Don't tell him how you got all the minis, but ask him nicely to sign them (steve is probably not going to do this, but a little sweet talking might get him to). After he signs them, you return to your place and sell the 30+ ipod minis, signed by steve, for $600 and get back $18,000. Now invest $12,000 of that into apple stock and buy yourself a nice mac with the rest of it. Now you have yourself a collectors ipod, really nice mac, $12,000 worth of apple shares and in, say, a couple years you might double or triple your money because of apple's stock. Then you could take out some of that money and buy yourself a nice car. This would be a lot of work, but a lot of profit. Just a thought, if anyone on macrumors wins a prize pm me!!!! I want to here about what apple told you.
