well u can look at value on sbr in a few ways 200 pts for 15$ in pizza so.. 9k pts =$675 .. or 214 pts = 30$ donations ..so 9k pts = $1260 .. but for the ipad itself cost is 8900 pts and on ebay/amazon it goes for 500$ approx so thats a little pricey but, some people feel worth it
gl in ur purchase no matter which way u go. another suggestion is for u to get 1k-2k or so from ur friend and run it up by tailing ur own gambling picks.. if u do well over the next weeks or months then u can get the ipad free and pay ur friend back the 1-2k
