Testing Waters: WTB the USA/Can/Japan prongs of their World Travel Adapter kit

[Abstract]

Hi,

I'm just testing to see if people would actually be interested in selling the North American/Japanese prong of their World Travel Adapter kit? This is very much possible for people who bought the World kit, and live in the US. Why would they need the America/Canadian prong if their Apple products were bought there, correct??

I'm Canadian, I live in Oz for now, and I want to get an iPod right now. Problem is that when I get home, I'm going to have an AC Adapter with the Aussie set of prongs. I don't want to use my iPod for 1.5 to 2 years with an Oz --> N. American plug converter. Its too bulky and impractical.

I'm also too cheap to pay C$60 to buy a World Travel adapter kit of my own when all I want is that one plug. I already own a universal adapter, but I don't want 2 things to plug into when charging an iPod.

Will anyone sell that one prong if they don't need it? :confused:

Sure (I've bought several power adaptors so I have a bunch of extra plugs). The only thing is, it probably costs more to ship it to Australia in any kind of timely manner than it would be to just buy the kit.

EDIT: maybe a better thing would be for you to get a simple prong converter, since you don't need the voltage changed (the charger detects it and changes automatically).

Thanks for the reply. :)

Actually, I was thinking about buying the prong in Canada in 4 months once I get back. That's why I was "testing the waters". I wouldn't mind paying US$8 plus a few dollars to ship that tiny prong. The packaging wouldn't have to be big, and it wouldn't weigh much.

I already have a universal prong adapter, and its big. I could get a smaller prong adapter from Radio Shack, but it would just be a nuisance to use it every time I wanted to charge my iPod. I'd rather pay $8 USD or something and get the single prong so there are no extra parts. I wouldn't have to plug my AC adapter into a prong converter, and THEN into the wall, y'know?

If you want to sell it and send it to a Canadian address, I wouldn't mind figuring out a way to send the money to you somehow. I've got no cheques, but I'm sure I could work out some sort of arrangement. :)
