Simply purchase a visa or mastercard gift card that is used like a normal credit card but shows no name and can be destroyed after making whatever purchase you want.

It gets tricky when you are talking about an overseas purchase, but for Apple, that is a US company and incorporated in the US, they are breaking the law if this is their actual new policy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shetaan819]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2007 12:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple refusing to accept cash for iPhone, limits 'em to two per person]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/27/apple-refusing-to-accept-cash-for-iphone-limits-em-to-two-per/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/27/apple-refusing-to-accept-cash-for-iphone-limits-em-to-two-per/</guid><description><![CDATA[hehe, lucky for me.

The dealership will need to input a special code in order for the car to work so if you do not buy it from these exact dealerships the car will not run no matter what you do to it.  Oh and by the way, these dealerships will be selling it at a price premium.  You CAN NOT buy the car used, you CAN NOT sell the car after you have bought it, you CAN NOT buy it from any other dealer and if you try any of these things the warranty be void and we'll have the serial number matched with your account so we'll know you did it so you won't be able to bring it back to us and have it serviced.<br><br>You can't tell me the American's would settle for that with even a low end car so why would they settle for it with a phone that originally cost $600?  Do you have no spine, are you simply willing to give in to the raping of personal freedom because of the culture joinery you get by owning an iPhone?  Where is your character or self respect...its shamefull really...and sad.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dylan Pask]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2007 2:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple refusing to accept cash for iPhone, limits 'em to two per person]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/27/apple-refusing-to-accept-cash-for-iphone-limits-em-to-two-per/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/27/apple-refusing-to-accept-cash-for-iphone-limits-em-to-two-per/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here's the answer (from <a href="http://www.treas.gov/education/faq/currency/legal-tender.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.treas.gov/education/faq/currency/legal-tender.shtml</a>):<br><br>"Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hank]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2007 4:58AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple refusing to accept cash for iPhone, limits 'em to two per person]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/27/apple-refusing-to-accept-cash-for-iphone-limits-em-to-two-per/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/27/apple-refusing-to-accept-cash-for-iphone-limits-em-to-two-per/</guid><description><![CDATA[Absolutely ridiculous... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marius]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2007 8:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple refusing to accept cash for iPhone, limits 'em to two per person]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/27/apple-refusing-to-accept-cash-for-iphone-limits-em-to-two-per/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/27/apple-refusing-to-accept-cash-for-iphone-limits-em-to-two-per/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think it's hilarious seeing all you guys crying over a damn phone.
