A lot of people often bring up the idea of exchanging what they get from the free sites and paying the difference for something better. I.E. Trading in a mac mini for one with more stuff and paying the difference.
I was wondering anyone here had actually done that at an apple store. I'd like to exchange my ipodshuffle, when I get it, and pay the difference for a ipod mini.
Anyone have any experience with this at an Apple store?

if it's not open say it was a gift and they'll do it with no problems

yes, people have done it and it's worked. I suggest you call your local apple store before you go in to verify that they will do this... all stores vary, so some might take it, some might not.

They the two apple stores near me were kinda iffy. Well one just said no, and the other said "they they're not supposed to but, they sometimes make suggestions depending on what the manager says." I decided that it was too much trouble to venture out there and have them say no so I decided to stick with what I got.
Anywho it is possible, suggest call first.

Just called the Mall of America store and the guy said to "bring it by" and that i could exchange it for $450 credit then use my student discount on whatever i choose to buy with the credit. I'm wondering what the 40 gig ipod photo cost would be, i know i saw best buy having it for $350 a month or so ago. He mentioned they had one 40 gig photo left! oh what to do

Does it make a difference if it is an Apple iPod or the HP manufactured iPod? I have heard that Gratis is sending both...

I heard it does make a difference... they'll only exchange for Apple iPods. There was a big discussion about this on the freeipod forum. Check it out
