So I didn’t buy a new iPod. Said I wouldn’t didn’t I? Not enough new features or shiny sexiness to get me to upgrade. At least not yet.
But the gadget monster needed feeding so I bought a portable DAB radio so that I can listen to the footie whilst mowing the lawn or sitting in Mothercare.
So I picked up an “as new” Pure Pocketdab 1000 on ebay for £50 (sell for over £110 in the shops), sniping the auction with my bid 20seconds from the end.
And this morning I get the following despatch notification.
“As we began preparations for dispatching your order, PURE DAB Digital Radio Walkman- PocketDAB 1000 - AS NEW, the lights dimmed and a special glow appeared around the item. The team joined hands in eager anticipation as it was carefully lowered into the special protective packaging. An urgent telegram went out across town and soon everyone had rushed to wave it on its way, whilst a spectacular fireworks display went off in the background. It is with great pleasure that we can therefore confirm that your item has now departed and should be arriving shortly.
We hope you had an enjoyable experience shopping with us on eBay? If you have any questions or issues about your order please don?t hesitate to get in touch. We would very much appreciate you leaving a feedback comment for us, and we will of course do likewise if it hasn’t been done already.”
And with that, I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. My “faith in human nature” meter filled ever so slightly, and somewhere inside I cried a tear of joy. It seems that being nice to people is still ok up in Perth…
