Apple to Recycle your iPod for Free
rdarden writes "After you get your dough from the recent iPod settlement, why not recycle your old iPod at an Apple retail store (US only). Starting today, that worthless hunk of environmental unfriendliness can be turned into a 10% discount on a new iPod (purchased at the same time)."
$20-$30 seems fair... I'm sure they won't resell them. Snort.
Apple is catching up with everyone advertising free iPods!
No way they are going to make me trade in my iPod for one of those new ones with an intel processor in it!
Microsoft will pay you $2 bucks rebate to exchange your ipod for some crippled piece of junk with a tenth the capacity, corrosive materials and its software on it and offer to kick you in the mouth.
and it will be successful.
You do realize the predatory pricing is anti-competitive because you charging "too little?" And that price gouging is charging "too much?" So to answer your question, in this dimension there is no predatory price gouging. However, there may be in other less logically consistent dimensions.
English is easier said than done.
I had a Dell PDA. My infant kid threw it into the pool one weekend. Called Dell Monday and they said warranty doesnt cover misuse. So i opened up the brat. Motherboard was new but all else inside looked like recycled crap.
So, what did you do with the PDA?
Will recycle it for free too. Just bop around a rough area with the ear-pods visible and someone may make you an offer to take it off your hands for no charge*. (* no charge for the iPod. Other charges may apply.)
