LOOKING FOR iPOD mini's or Nanos

have a 2gb nano. orignal owner. original box, minus ear buds (eeeww?!). been in an 'incase' case since it was new. might have been marked up by ''aliens' when i wasn't looking... seems clean/scratch free.

let me know if you might be interested.

Someone here just sold their headless titanium powerbook for 90 dollars here so with all the respect in the world, I think the price is high. Maybe ebay is your best option

I was going to say the same thing. Maybe if you lowered your price to $125 or so (hate to say it, but the AirPort craze is over, they aren't worth anything nowadays) plus the fact that portability with wireless isn't very good with a LCD-less display.

That's not true...they still sell for upwards of $120 on eBay...

But yeah, if your price comes down, I'd be interested perhaps. That LCD shown in the pictures is included, but cracked? Or doesn't it work at all?

I should have specified- the craze is over everywhere besides eBay. Them people would buy used diapers if someone sold them.

Now there's a money making scheme.

To OP: if you decide to lower the price, I'm interested.

Sadly, you have a point- people on eBay will buy almost anything; be it ridiculous or mundane. :)

Mirproducts had a smaller drive...no top case...no adapter...questionable drive...no airport. That..and the fact that he was just doing away with the machine because it was 2 months that he was trying to sell it and noone was biting. I was the one that had first dibs on it when he put it out, but i decided not to get it since there wasn't enough stuff to come along with it.

I was hoping to find someone who needs a desktop machine. Not a portable. If this came down to 125....then that means the machine gets sold for $40-50?...Since the AP card could sell alone even on this forum for $75-80. Give my machine more credit then that Skoker.

That's true. Average now is $95, but I don't intend to sell the AP separate. The price I put up is in consideration of the value of the parts, plus the fact that PB machines still sell for $350-400ish complete. Ebay's LCD screens vary from $30-125. So my asking price isn't too bad. I've posted it considering people's counter offers or trades...but my PM box is empty and there has been no offers. What I hope to find an iPod mini or a nano....and this can be sold for reallyyy cheap...depending on which ipod i get and offer for.

Now there's a money making scheme.

Hi munckee, well...the price isn't set in stone as i have mentioned to itasor. Throw me your offer and let's see if anything can happen. I'm in no rush to sell this machine since it works fine as a server machine where all files I want shared in my house can be located at 24/7. It's helpful when i have certain machines resting, especially my G5.


For anyone else interested in this, hopefully you have an iPod (especially mini/nano) you don't use at all and being used as a paperweight. If you don't need it....let me know and maybe we can work something out. Thanks all!

Price dropped to $250 shipped with the airport card. If noone wants it, I will either part the machine or sell it as a whole on ebay tomorrow night.

Exactly what needs to be done to this to turn it into a functioning machine. The only thing that needs to be replaced is the LCD panel itself? Also, would you perhaps be interested in a trade for a 20GB black and white 4th gen?
