Convince dad to buy me iPod Touch?


Question Posted Wednesday August 5 2009, 1:42 am

I don't have a job, so I can't really save up money to buy one myself lol. I don't get an allowance either. I know my dad isn't the type that would make me work for something. Does anyone know any ways that I can convince my dad to buy me an iPod Touch? If anyone can tell me the pros and cons of the iPod Touch, that would help a lot too. I just don't feel like asking, cause I already feel like he's going to say no. The only thing that could help me, is that I've had 2 iPods so far in my lifetime. I believe they were both $200 each. I want the iPod Touch 8GB... that's only like $230 right? About $30 more isn't so bad. He's also bought me and my sister a $300 camera. (I think it was that much)... So why wouldn't I be able to buy an iPod Touch? I mean, my dad has bought things in equal value to the iPod Touch or greater. Maybe I could sell my current iPod 3rd generation to save some money. but I wouldn't know how to convince my dad to let me sell it, and where. o.o I don't know where my dad stands in his bills right now, I don't want him to need loans. xD So what do you guys think? Thanks in advance :)

Additional info, added Wednesday August 5 2009, 1:51 am:
I don't mean to sound stuck up or spoiled when I say my dad wouldn't make me work for something.... I mean that even if I asked him, I know he would say no. He has nothing for me to do... He has even said no when I asked him if I could do chores and stuff for an allowance. ;__;.

it sounds like your dad buys you a lot of things.. and since you've already had two ipods maybe he wont see why he needs to buy you another one, truth is .. he shouldn't have to. If you want one, sell your other one like you said and maybe you guys could go halfs on it like you pay half and he'll pay half i know i would never ask my parents two by me an ipod touch if i already had 2 of them before even if they were broken.. i would feel bad. I can't really come up with any good reason why someone would have to buy you an ipod touch they do the same thing as the others except it has internet and its *touch screen* and the internet is stupid on those you can only use it near someones wireless internet so theres no point there honestly not as cool at they sound.. probably not what you wanted to hear, sorry




good luck

Not that this helps at all (because I'm horrible at convincing my parents to buy me stuff) but if I knew you or anything I would totally just give mine iPod Touch to you. I paid a lot of money for it, and I think I've used it twice. :/
