I subscribe to MLB.com's service that lets me listen to the Oakland A's radio broadcast over the Internet. About a month ago, there was a technical snafu and the service was fu for about a day, causing me and all the other subscribers to miss a game. To appease us, MLB.com offered a coupon good for $10 toward any purchase of $10 or more at the MLB.com store.

Browsing the store, I saw nothing of any interest to me, largely because everything costs more than $10, and I don't want to spend even $1 of real money on baseball merchandise. I'm happy to spend the $10 of coupon money on someone else, though, so if you have any interest in buying any sort of baseball fan paraphernalia, let me know, and I'll try to transfer it to you. There's no official protocol for transferring the coupon, but I see I can buy a gift certificate, so I imagine that will do the trick.

The coupon expires July 31, so if I haven't heard from anyone by the 30th or so, I'll try buying myself a gift certificate, which may or may not succeed as a ruse to prolong the offer for myself. If it works, and if I'm not back in Oakland by then, I'll use it toward next year's subscription.
