Buy space on 17" macbook pro for college

    idea,
    I need a 17" macbook for school, sure I don't need the 17", but if your going to pay that much for a computer, might as well go all the way. So to cover the cost I am selling laser etched adspace to you, and I am not profiting on this at all. Just the macbook.

    my plea
    I am currently a community college student looking to upgrade from that, to a bigger more legitimate college. (University of Cincinnati DAAP) I can hardly afford this community college thing, but my parents have offered to help with the class fees so long as I pay living and books supplies etc. The biggest expense I will be facing immediately is the computer I will need to design.

    the deal
    I am selling adspace on the lid to cover the cost of what it holds. I have divided it up into 64 rectangles, selling each at $45. They measure 1.925x1.3inches totaling about 2.5 square inches of permanent adspace each. You can put in this space anything school appropriate that you want to. I will make you a logo for free if you buy space and do not have a logo to put in it, but want one. You can keep the logo, .psd and all. Design work can also be traded for direct square purchases. Squares 28,29,36,37 cannot cover the apple logo, mostly because it would probably suck at being etched. Your ad will be shown everywhere the macbook goes. It is sure to get more legitimate interest than some banner ads I am sure. A higher CTR if you will. This is because you know everyone stares at people on laptops, especially the screen.
    If you would like to reserve a spot p.m. me, post here, email me, whatever. anything with a time stamp incase of conflict of people wanting the same spot. First come first serve. Include which spot you want (number) and if possible, what you want in it, so I can lay it all out. I will collect money once enough has been pledged to buy the macbook. I don't want to collect money and end up not having enough.
    I will keep the following image up to date on who as what where.

    happy holidays all around :)

    i could probably do 40/space and still have enough to pay for it, using more of my own money.
