Okay, I’ve been sucked in.

I’ve been looking for a decent MP3 player for ages. Personally, I’d rather it ran off of Windows Media Audio format (all my songs are in that format), but I can reburn them to CD if I have to.

So, when I saw this offer for a free iPod over at Aaron’s site, I definitely jumped at the chance.

The gist? Let me quote Aaron:

There are some hitches naturally. I had to sign up, which I did with an email address I use for spam, participate in one of their 8 offers – which I also did by signing up for a dummy ebay account and bidding on an item that had 6 days of bidding left and that I knew I’d lose with my $1 bid. ;) The trick there is that I get the credit for signing up and bidding, not for winning.

After you do that, the way you get your free iPod is basically to get 5 folk to do the same thing. It took me less than 5 minutes, and it’s put Aaron 1 step closer to getting his free iPod.

If you want a free iPod, all you have to do is click on my referrer link, sign up for an eBay account and place a bid (then get 5 others to do the same). In fact, in order to help out, if you place your referral link in the comments here, I’ll even be your first signup. That way you only need 4 more. Not bad for a free iPod, right?

Here’s my referrer link again.
