Woman pays $180 for wooden iPad

Looks like these crooks were intent on proving right those Apple critics who argue that fans will buy anything with an Apple logo...

In order to show their fine faith, they reportedly showed her a brand new, shiny iPad and told her that one just like it could be hers for a mere $300.
McDowell didn't want to pass up such an uplifting bargain but was only in possession of $180. The dupers seemed not to take Amex. But, ever reasonable, they reportedly said that, well, just this once, they would accept McDowell's offer. They then apparently gave her a FedEx box from the trunk of their Impala.

On the front was a Best Buy sticker and several Apple icons, such as Safari and iPod.

This episode begs the question - how much would you pay for a wooden iPad?
