Just bought an Ipod on e-bay for €40 (this price includes shipping). Did i get a good deal ? Just did in on the spur of the moment, so i could've been ripped....in hindsight, not the best way to enter an online auction 😛

It's not too bad, you probably could have picked one up for about €30 if you really tried.

Yeah, the guy made most of his cash on the shipping, he's secure enough though.

Did you say you have bought this item?

Can you retract your money?

Its exactly the same as the one I was ripped off by (not seller but item) Its not compatible with iTunes, didnt keep its charge for longer than a song and was a pain in the arse to download music onto it.

If you can I would try to retract your bid or withdraw from the auction, sorry mate but if you specifically wanted an Apple, you wont be happy with this item.

I never intended to buy an apple, and i only called it an ipod because i'm techno-illiterate.

OK fair enough, but I hope you can actually use it!

I through mine in the bin after countless emails and bought a nano!

It's not bad. Apparently there are issue with it support some video files/codec.

Personally, for a 4gb MP4 player I'd still go for the good ol' iRiver Clix 2
