FS: 20 GB iPod

[gmed]

I purchased this few months ago, and since i work at the hospital and study most of the time, I havent had the chance to use it as much as i should have. My Loss, Your gain!! It has been covered with its at all times, and when taken out, it has been in a special carrying case. It comes with ear buds, firewire cable, emote cable, case, and original cd. It is also loaded with few gigs of music.

I am also including a Dooney & Bourke stand, which I purchased for $40. This is no ordinary cheep plastic case you have seen. It is made of aluminum, covered with black leather, which provides a scratch-free surface. It also has the Dooney & Bourke logo. It is a perfect fit as you can see in the picture.

Both for $330.

[gmed]

Make me an offer. make it reasonable, ok?

Not to hijack the thread, but how is a deal usually worked out on these boards (I am thinkinf of selling my 10gb iPod.) Does the paying party pay all money, then it is sent, or what?

[madoka]

Unless the "few gigs" of songs are all public domain which I somehow doubt, I think you should blank out your ipod before selling it.

Personally I don't really trust or deal with anyone offering their computer (or ipods) loaded with pirated software.

Did I say my songs were pirated? Who asked you to deal with me anyways?

[Kwyjibo]

Unfourtunately Madoka is write about his first statement. even if you own all the songs that are on the iPod, unless u send your original copies of all those CDS with your iPod, its illegal for you to offfer them as a feature because you are the only one who can legally use them.

[gmed]

Actually they are as a matter of fact.

[SoonToGetAMac]

Oh, okay, sorry. Just out of curiousity, are you in a band or what?

[gmed]

I play the guitar and the Tabla.

[gmed]

BTW, if it makes you feel better and not lose sleep over this, I have reset the iPod.

[SoonToGetAMac]

No, I don't care about the copyrights too much at all, I was just informing you about the laws and curious what kind of music you play. Sorry about that.

[gmed]

No, its not directed to you, but I just cant believe im being bombarded with replies about pirating. I mean I hadnt given much thought about it, after I did I realized that i wasnt supposed to, but all im trying to do is sell me pod. Everyone else has turned the discussion about pirating and copyright issues. I didnt mean to sound harsh, im sorry.

[SoonToGetAMac]

It's okay. I was also thinking, once you synch the 'Pod for the first time, you any other music on it anyways, so there isn't a problem.:cool:

well, I wasnt bagging on you, just on the person that said you shouldnt sell it with "pirated software." BTW, when did music become software???

How is selling an ipod with music already on it any different than selling a used cd??? When the cd is initially purchased the record company/artist/whoever else gets their cut of the sale. But at that point, it can be sold 100 times over and they wont see any of that money. Is that illegal too???

And lastly, unless you have absolutely no d/l mp3s on your computer, which I highly doubt in this day and age, you really shouldnt say anything about it.

[gmed]

I agree.

And lastly, unless you have absolutely no d/l mp3s on your computer, which I highly doubt in this day and age, you really shouldnt say anything about it. I totally agree. I can honestly say that I have one downloaded song. (It is the funniest thing ever! William Shatner singing 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,' it was voted the worst Beatles cover ever). But anyways, selling an iPod is different than a used CD because when you own the CD, you own the rights. When you own the iPod you own the songs, but not the right. Think of the physical CD as a Title Deed to use the music as you wish, legally.

1. If you think selling an ipod loaded with copyrighted materials is ok, then you'd probably think that selling blank cdrs loaded with FCP, Office, etc. is ok. Same principle. And to clarify, gmed would still have a copy of his cd and the buyer would have a copy on his ipod. Yes that is clearly illegal.

2. Gmed is doing something cheesy. He's trying to justify a higher price for is ipod / encourage a buyer by pirating. Saying that those few gigs are now all of his band (like they've somehow recorded DAYS worth of material) is simple BS to try to cover up his dishonesty. He knows what he was doing.

If gmed is being dishonest about piracy of several hundred songs and the content of his ipod magically switching to that of his band and is rude in response to a request that he not do an illegal act, seriously is he the kind of guy you want to send near $300 sight unseen over the internet?

3. And yes, I own over 900 cds and the only downloaded songs on my computer are the ones I bought from Apple. Just the fact that you have trouble comprehending someone being honest about downloading copyrighted songs says volumes about you.

I refer back to my first post in this thread, everyone, welcome Hilary to the board.

They could be the ones that come with a new iMac and songs from MP3.com:rolleyes:. Have you personally seen what is on the iPod:rolleyes: :mad: ?

[gmed]

Madoka, If you really think I was trying to make more money by offering few mp3's, you gotta be kidding me!!! Im doing something cheesy? If you want to prove your point, which you already have, I suggest you reply with more respect and be careful with the way you address to people you do not know.
I got your point, I really did not give it much thought, and my intention wasnt to make few dollars more. I simply wanted to give the buyer the choiice to accept the mp3's or not. I have reset the iPod, which I do not think I should justify to you, nor anyone else. If you do not pirate music, I commend you for that. BUT, do not go around, waste your time and my time by calling me "DISHONEST" and "CHEESY". I simply want to sell my Pod.

[SoonToGetAMac]

Some people steal music, and some don't. Giving away MP3s on an iPod won't promote piracy because people who want to buy CDs will buy them, and people who want to download MP3s will download them. Giving away MP3s on an iPod doesn't really change the situation.

[mambo99]

i'm only interested to know whether your ipod is still for sale.

let me know.

thanks.
