OK, I'm going to take part this time round. I've had this domain for a while now and I'd like to do something with it: J Lo iPod

I originally got it because last summer I won a ltd edition JLo Glow iPod 80Gig Video with a sparkly shimmer effect. Mine is number 21 out of 35 made.
At first I planned to keep it, but once it arrived I thought I'd be better just putting it on ebay and seeing if a genuine fan would buy it for a decent price. I then did some research and saw that two of them had sold for over £500 each on ebay. I tried putting it on at offers over £250 but never got anywhere (First I tried the UK eBay & then the US eBay). I copied the link into the JLo Forum and didn't get any bids either.
So, what do you think, should I develop the site to in some way flog the iPod for a decent amount of cash, should I put it back on ebay with a low minimum bid or should I just keep it and use it?
I did think the fact it's number 21 may be a unique selling point for a huge JLo fan turning 21. However, that's seriously narrowing down the target market...

In any case, whether I include the iPod or not, I'm going to take part in this 30 day challenge. If I use this domain J Lo iPod - would I risk trademark problems with JLo or iPod?
