Remember that old Rolling Stone's song Paint it Black ? When it comes to Zune forget it and Paint it Pink. Another pink Zune on eBay was sold for a price of $960. That was the one with No72 of the 100 available...

I was lucky enough to get this Zune in a box meant for a black Zune. As you know, this is one of 100 special edition pink Zunes, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It is unused, and includes everything in the original box.

Of course it would make a jaw-dropping gift for anyone hoping for a normal Zune this Christmas. Nobody on my list would appreciate it enough, so I leave it to you to find the perfect owner. Shipping is FREE anywhere in the U.S. via UPS 2nd Day Air, and I'll give you a tracking number within 12 hours of receiving payment.

UPDATE: The entire proceeds of this auction will be donated to the CRY organization - Child Relief and You (at http://www.cry.org). I want to amplify my random piece of good luck by directing it to the people who need it the most. I hope you feel the same way and enjoy the thought of your bids directly supporting CRY's mission to restore and protect the basic rights of underprivileged children.

Happy Holidays!
