Arbitrage Opportunity!

Hmm. Tables in blogger seem to be rather shittily implemented. So here goes.

Remember how I complained a few posts ago about being unable to download Elizabeth and the Catapult - Taller Children? Well, problem solved.

I went on ebay, bought a $25 iTunes (U.S.) Gift card and got the code emailed to me so there's no shipping charge. I'm now comfortably listening to Taller Children on my Mac. Sweet. How much money did I save? See this table I made here. (Prices are based on Taller Children. Not sure how typical the pricing is though.)

Lovely. It's amusing to note that there are a couple of sellers on ebay selling $25 iTunes (U.S.) gift cards for $28.48 USD. It's essentially currency speculation by another name. I wonder how long it'll take before iTunes either adjusts its prices or the currency markets adjust (correct) to their original position.

Now that I have a couple more dollars to be spend, I'll probably get
Cool Is Just A Number by I Fight Dragons. If you're wondering what their sound is like they describe themselves as "Chicago's finest (and quite possibly only) NES-Rock band."



And maybe some Ricky Gervais nonsense. Hmm.

P.S. As a nerdy side note, if Obama's stimulus money and quantitative easing isn't managed properly on the economic upswing we could see a massive devaluation of the dollar. And if iTunes stays rigid in its pricing (as it's known to do) that might make the business of iTunes gift card reselling more and more lucrative.
