WTB ipod

cheap, not shuffle.

thats about it. It is just for music in the truck. so size, large Gigs, or video, and vintage doesn't matter

**dfinn** · 12-03-2006, 07:54 PM

you can find 10 gig and 15 gig's with broken screens on ebay for around $100. I was going to do that until I read something UAN wrote about having his ipod die just from bouncing around in his truck.

**mntlion** · 12-03-2006, 07:56 PM

and can you get the screen fixed? or just keep pressing the middle of the click wheel untill you get sound?

Mine died suddenly. now computer doesn't think it is pluged into the USB port, no charging, no screen, no nothing......

older 20gig with the 4 buttons above the click wheel

sorry, I assumed you were using the same setup as me. having the screen work might be an issue for you.

i have an alpine HU with a USB cable that runs from the HU into the ipod and I control everything from my HU. no need for me to ever touch the ipod.

sorry to waste your time

**mntlion** · 12-03-2006, 08:02 PM

cool idea, but won't work for me.

thanks

I'd sell you my 2 gig silver Nano for $100 plus shipping. Also comes with 2 silicone cases.

Apple's store has them certified refurbished for about half the retail (depending on the model) with 1 yr warranty shipped free. Got my mini off there, it was basically brand new, open box return.

Click on the red SAVE tag.

Fwiw.

EDIT: SAVE tag

mtnlion.....i have the same style ipod and you can buy any of the replacement parts you need on ebay. The parts are so easy to replace, and it sounds like in your ipod you might just need to buy a new battery and pop it in. They sell thems at frys and on ebay.

**GapersGoHome** · 12-04-2006, 06:54 PM

Mine took a shit a few weeks ago; ponied up for a new 80gig... but I took my old one apart... and I have pieces if you need 'em, mntlion. it's not your gen, though. It's the 4g, I think... but your screen might be the same... anybody know this?

and did you try resetting it? not sure what buttons you hold for your model, but... that would be worth it.

**soul_skier** · 12-04-2006, 08:01 PM

anyone have an extra hard drive lying along

**dfinn** · 12-04-2006, 08:07 PM

hey dfinn, I'm in Boston, where do you ski ??

i got an asc pass so mount snow/killington. berkshire east when it opens since it's only about 10 minutes away.

**Brock Landers** · 12-04-2006, 08:13 PM

if i get a new one in the next couple weeks you can have mine. 15gb, some sontgs skip- just have to save some other songs over them to fix it id imagine. ill keep you informed.

**mntlion** · 12-04-2006, 08:44 PM

GGH: tried that, no responce from the ipod.

brock: cool,. let me know

**cj001f** · 12-04-2006, 08:48 PM

I have a 20gb color w/dock that I might be willing to part with - have to do a little research.

**mntlion** · 12-08-2006, 11:21 PM

cj: any news?

anything from my list on gear swap that you want....

**Borat** · 12-09-2006, 12:35 AM

**mntlion** · 12-09-2006, 09:37 AM

thanks borat: give me untill monday? looking at another option...

**cj001f** · 12-09-2006, 10:57 AM

$120 shipped on mine mtnlion

**smalls** · 12-09-2006, 01:52 PM

if the deal with cj doesn't pan out, i've got a 20gb that's the same generation as yours. my only beef with it is that the battery only last about 20 minutes when it's cold out, but that apparently won't be an issue for you.

i'd be very interested in trading my ipod and some money for one of your m1 beacons. let me know.

**MetalJack** · 12-09-2006, 02:59 PM

Got a 15GB with 8GB of songs on it. 1st Generation. White. Works fine, but has some surface scratches. $50 shipped if you want it.

Any ideas on getting it to lasts longer? Mine dies after 2 hours. Going to put a new bigger battery in.
