Nah, this is just about the same price that they're going for on eBay, give or take a few bucks.
Also thanks for the story there Rapidfire, you dipshit. Nobody in their right mind would spend $700 trying to keep a goddamned iPod working. The reason I'm selling it is as I said. I had only used it in my car, and my iTrip broke, and as such cannot use it in my car anymore. It works FINE. No issues at all, the 3rd-gen iPods are the best ones of the lot.
Not all iPods are built equal, as the 4th-gen is where they started to become gigantic piles of shit. I still have a 1st-gen from 2001, a 5GB model, that works perfectly fine and has NEVER had any issues at all even after being dropped it countless times by my youngest sister, as she is the one that uses it now.
I appreciate the kind words though, champ.

A great deal, I hope you sell it.
I picked up my 4gig Mini (2nd gen) off a friend for $100 and it's been dropped twice from a good height, still runs like a beauty
So for $50 more you can get 11 more gigs...thats more than fair.
sorry vertigo but i don't think i'd ever buy a used ipod
too many unknowns: is the battery almost dead/used up? has it been dropped? does it glitch out?
i actually own 4 ipods. i usually use each one to death and when they finally break down i just go and buy a new one. so far the nano is awesome b/c the flash memory really conserves battery life... the hard drive based ipods like the one you're selling really suck b/c the batteries drain so fast (hd's have moving parts) and they flake more with temperature changes (like being in your car outside in the cold).
maybe in a few years, the hd based ipods will eventually be phased out as flash memory becomes cheaper
the new nanos will be same price but double memory
4gb nano = $250
8gb nano = $299

I just lost 48 IQ points by reading this.
Read the first post in this thread, it answers every single question you asked, and then some.

hey it was just a fair warning to anyone thats going to own one. yours or otherwise. the ipod is a glitchy peice of shit and I know of more than a few people that had to return theirs because of technical problems. and Im talking past generation here.
sorry for telling it like it is. im sure not all of them are bad but the majority of them are.

If you were trying to sell something that works perfectly fine and has never had any issues, would you like it if someone were to come and be like "DON'T BUY THIS ITS A PIECE OF SHIT I KNOW BECAUSE I SPENT $700 ON A $300 PRODUCT OH AND ALSO MY FRIENDS HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM GEE GOLLY DON'T BUY THIS THING IT SUCKS"
Didn't think so, but thanks.
