Shouldn't buy a used iPod, you'll have a hard time getting support / warranty for it.

For anyone else browsing, this is how it works.

When you purchase the iPod, it includes;

a 90 day eligibility for a single incidence of technical support by phone

a 180 day service agreement that covers any shipping charges for repair

a 365 day hardware warranty that covers defects and hardware failure

Technical support = $49.00 an issue

Shipping charge = $29.95 per repair

Battery replacement = $99 per battery after warranty expires

If you're a student, however,

AppleCare Protection Plan for Students; $47;

Unlimited Tech Support for 2 years

Service Agreement for 2 years

Battery replacement program for 2 years

So if you buy a used iPod, or have already purchased a used iPod;

Call Apple and get the APP; It'll save you money later.

Cybe is right. I would buy a new one. You can turn around and sell it on ebay for at least what you gave for it. If you sell it with a bunch of songs already on it, you'll probably get more.

As far as pricing goes, you don;t have to be a student to get the educational discount. I work for a University and got my 20 G for $268 with free shipping b/c I'm involved in education at a university. However, they did not do any checking to confirm I worked where I do. Just took my word for it. So you may wanna try that. $268 delivered is a helluva good deal when compared to used ones. Also, I'd seriously consider buying the extended warranty with any apple product. I never buy extended warranties. Their charges are outrageous for service and if you use it once, you will use them again because the first level of tech support you reach is dumb as hell. I've bought about 6 of them for family and friends and my advice is to buy a new one and get the warranty.

Battery Replacement is the biggest issue with these iPods because they cannot be easily taken apart by the user.

ipodMods.com does relatively cheap battery and part replacements, and offers warrenties on their work.

I am waiting for my Ipod Mini to get back from powdercoating. It will be a gunmeatal with a silver vein in it. When I get it back its going up for sale.
