Sure, send me a PM with what you want to trade for.

Be careful of the seller. Consider feedback, especially feedback from the last few weeks. I've bought some gift cards from eBay, and have never come across any surprises. I've purchased Old Navy, Bass Pro, and Circuit City cards.

Still have both cards, if anyone's interested.

Laser Tag?

Not at all...I'm in the same situation. Mostly, I'll be looking for gifts for others, so I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for until the ads come out.

Sign up at Wii Preorders to track / be notified of preorders. Amazon.com already had their preorder filled, and EBgames was going to do it sometime this week.

It means that it was returned to Apple for some reason or another. Whatever the reason (broken, buyer's remorse...) Apple restores the product to new condition before selling and also gives you a full 1-year warranty on the iPod, just like it was new.

No idea. It's all up to the ads this year, and that's my pre-ad plan. I usually go to Best Buy or Circuit City, but I don't think I'll be needing / wanting anything from there, so I'll pay closer attention to Target, TRU, and Dick's Sporting Good.

Well, a lot depends on their taste, ages, etc... Some good places for GC would be iTunes, Amazon.com, Pier 1, IKEA, or a fun restaurant (Buffalo Wild Wings or good local place).

Scott - You are awesome. I'm getting these for my wife. She got frostbite on a couple of her toes when she was young and whenever we're out in the winter her feet start to really hurt from the cold.

The only thing a docking station does for you that the cable that comes with it doesn't is stand the iPod up on the desk. I personally think it's a waste of money. I'd get him a case or armband to go with it, depending on how he'll use it.

I don't hate it, but I'm not good at it. I just pay to have it wrapped in the mall.

Nope, I usually give them a Starbucks or Caribou card.

Any time of the year. My wife turns on Trans-Siberian Orchestra randomly throughout the year, so I guess that I never stop.

You guys need to get a Stadium Buddy.

I would definitely go this route. At $99, you can get him a clear case and whatever other accessories you think he may need.

Most Dell deals only last a few days. It looks like this one has now expired.

Nothing for Luke. I've got 2 iPod Nanos and some books for family members.

They're gone. Thanks for looking.

He's just as amused by the box as he is the toy. Actually, he's got a baseball that someone knit him and he loves it. He throws it all over the place and can chase it for a good 20-30 minutes. No reason for use to hit up TRU before now. If the lines at TRU are too much, Home Depot and Office Max are right next to it, so I'll just go there.

Nice, we can stop on our way home from work tomorrow. Thanks.

We're looking for a nice recliner, but that will probably just happen when the local furniture place has a good sale. They aren't really known for their BF sales, but they have decent stuff during the last couple of weeks of each fiscal quarter.

It depends on who has what. We're pretty set for electronics for a while, so we'll probably be looking for stuff for Luke. Maybe TRU? I've only ever been in there twice in my life.

Check out Goodwill or Salvation Army. I think the cheapest motorized one's start in the $300-$400 range at Dick's Sporting Goods or Sears.
