Hi all.

I have just received my reader from USA. I have asked a friend who was visiting the states to buy one for me.
It is absolutely awesome!
I am not interested in spending $50 credit in the Connect store.
I would like to sell the credit for $30.

I see two ways of doing it.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I could authorize my reader to someones else account - so [s]he will receive $50 credit. After receiving and spending the credit we deauthorize my reader from that account, and after that I receive $30 on a paypal, or more preferably paypay, account.

Or I can create an account and receive the credit and the "buyer" woud de-authorize his/her reader from his/her account and authorize it to my account. After spending "my" $50 credit the buyer can simply de-authorize his reader and authorize it back to his/her account, and after that I receive $30 on a paypay account.

Is it technically possible?
I haven't used connect software yet. Haven't even installed it yet, because SONY thinks my Windows 2000 computer (and my Linux / FreeBSD computers) are not good enough to enable me to use an internet store :-( .

Is anybody interested?
