Anyone in the market for a used iPod?

[grammargirl]

So it's coming time to retire my iPod, Rose, after 2+ years of faithful service.

Here's the deal: my job basically consists of seven and a half hours of data entry a day. Without music to listen to while I work, the repetitiveness would quickly drive me insane. My iPod's been slowly losing battery power over the past several months, as old iPods do, to the point that it now lasts about 4-5 hours on a full charge. This would be fine if I was just using it to work out or whatever, but isn't acceptable for my current work situation.

I'm going to replace it with a Nano in the very near future, but thought I'd see first if anyone's interested in giving this one a good home. Other than the battery issue, it still functions perfectly fine, and I'm pretty obsessive about keeping it in its case so it's still in good shape physically. It's a 3rd gen 20 gig, but it's roughly a year younger than most 3rd gens because the battery on my first iPod died shortly before its warranty expired and Apple replaced it for free. It's currently initialized for use with a Mac, and I can either give it to you as is, with about 18 gigs of my music on it for you to keep or trash as you wish, or restore it to factory settings and give it to you all clean and blank-slate-like. Comes with case, firewire cord, A/C adapter, and I'll even toss in a brand new in package set of iPod earbuds. $50 for anyone local, a few extra dollars to cover shipping costs for non-locals. Price negotiable within reason. Leave a comment if you're interested.

i'm interested. you have quite good timing, as my ipod kicked the bucket (or is making noises/not working to the point that i don't really believe it is repairable), and i was also debating whether or not i would buy a nano. i'm not confirming yet, but i'm definitely interested. i will email you soon.
