Oops...I bought an iPad

[Danny]

While browsing on eBay yesterday looking for Xmas presents I came across a nearly new iPad which was engraved with "Dan's iPad" on the back. I'd not seriously thought of getting one before, but thinking this must be serendipity put in what I thought was a ridiculously low bid and much to my surprise won the auction.

I'm now left wondering whether I will really get any use out of the thing, or whether I should put in back on eBay.

And if I keep it, how do I persuade the OH that this was an essential investment in the run up to Xmas.

Depends what the rediculously low bid was?

Third-hand iPad?

I'll give you £25.00, but I'm cutting my hand off here, and I have a missus, a kid and a dog to feed.

There's been that many owners, if you send it to me Ill pay the postage

There've been that many owners, if you pay the postage I might consider letting you send it to me.

Use it to do all the Xmas shopping online?

Or as a trivet to stand the turkey on on the lunch table...

But was it Dan who sold it ...? (Had somebody walked off with it while Dan was looking the other way?)

Or I could display photos of happy turkeys running around while we eat our meal.

I hope so.

The seller was a bit obsessive and included about 10 photos of the iPod and the receipt from every possible angle so it looked reasonably genuine.

This is where some confusion may be creeping in. It is an iPad or an IPod?

Surely you could play a video

I didn't say you had to cook the turkey. Let it sit on the Ipad while you eat your nut roast, and feed it bits of sprouts everyso often....
