Default FTP store electronics

In a couple of months I'll have been in the ironman thing long enough to get the 25k point bonus, which'll put me up to around 40k total (lol low stakes donkaments). I have my eye on the iPod nano (4 gig is 40k, 8 gig is 50k), but was wondering whether anyone's worked out which things are actually the best value for your points already to make things easier to compare (i.e. I could easily hold on for longer to get the 30 gig regular for 61k if it works out cheaper).

Obviously the correct answer is just to get several bathrobes instead, but may as well check whether anyone's done the math already before scouting ebay or wherever.

Default Re: FTP store electronics

Points are deducted from MGR (and thus 27% rakeback) at a rate of 1/2 a cent, or $0.005 (200 points = $1). So generally if an item's retail price is over that price, it's "overpriced".

EDIT: In other words, they're pricing the 4GB Nano at $200 and the 8GB at $250. The 30GB Video is being priced at $305.
