I purchased a new, sealed iPod Nano 5th Gen 8GB for $120 on eBay. Is this a fair price? I haven't received it yet but was wondering what to expect from the battery life since the iPod has presumably been sitting in the packaging for 4-5 years.
Not to be cold blanket, but i'm afraid the battery in the iPod is dead/ bloated. If you open it up, and realized the screen has a "small patch", likely the battery is bloated and push the LCD towards the screen, hence causing the small patch.
Thank you, I researched this further and it appears to be a common problem with old unused batteries. Apparently Apple doesn't replace iPod batteries, they just give you a refurb unit instead. If that's true the $99 refurb 7th Gen is a great deal.
