Anyone can get their own table for the low low price of 750 iron man medals.
I know you said you opt out of that promo for some reason, but I like it. I think the best use for medals is to convert them into points: 650 medals = 25k points. There is lots of decent stuff to be had for under 100k points (like an 80 GB ipod for 70k), but I think I'm going to go for the 400k point Panasonic 50 inch Plasma tv.
I should be able to earn 10k points per month from playing pretty easily. On top of that, if I average average 300 medals per month (after a year, Iron man gets you 300 per month plus you can get 100 bonus medals per month, but I'll ignore the bonus medals to make up for the months that I don't make Iron for whatever reason), that's equilavent to another 12kish points. So that's 22k points per month without too much trouble. That means it would take me a year and a half to earn enough points for the tv.
I spent a shitton of points selling hats on ebay a while back, but I've already built back up to the equilvavent of 120k points (including medals) in my account, so I should have enough for the tv in another year.
Hopefully by then, they will have a nicer tv for the same price, but even if they don't, it should be a fun shopping spree.
