hmm.. so recently i've been really thinking bout buying an ipod. mostly because this forum convinced me with all the ipod this ipod that haha.
i'm tryna get a 4th generation, 40gb ipod with all the original accessories that's supposed to come with it (yes the plain one) cause it's huge enough so i don't gotta keep deleting/adding songs. the only thing is that they discontinued this model back in 2005 and apple only sells the small 20gb ones.. (mini/nano/shuffles are too small of a harddrive and videos are too expensive, and i'm cool with the original one)
i found a cool one ('excellent condition' blahblah) on craigslist for $200 that seems pretty convincing and i can actually check it out in person. but i also checked out a lot on ebay.. and damn they're cheap!! they go for around 100 only. but most of them are refurbished, and most of them are from the same few sellers who seem to be shitting out ipods here and there cause they got so many thats out being sold.. i checked out their past and current auctions.. seems legit but wtf, where are they getting them haha i'm guessing they bought it hella cheap or they straight jacked them haha but anyways.. to the main question...
anyone every fuck with BUYING refurbished ipods (not getting it replaced by apple) or other products? whats your opinion on them? any problems?? ya think i should save 100 bucks and buy one off ebay that says like new and veryyy minor wear conditions, or 'brand new' because they're refurbished???????
thank you veryyyyyy much in advance
