What do you mean? I know lots of people all over the world collecting iPods.
I meant that iPod line itself is slowly dying, so it is nice to see, that people are still collecting them
Got a tip for us?

1G ipod
Hi all!
I am fairly new to collecting and I am trying to purchase a first gen ipod but I'm not sure what some of the specs mean. Specifically the production year and number. Does production year and number matter if the model (M8513LL/A) is correct? I'm looking at 2 and one has the year 2001 week 49 number 6020. The other was year 2002 week 31 number 2378. Does this matter much will collectible value or no? Thanks for the help!

Hey!
The iPod has release dates of October 2001 (5 GB) and March 2002 (10 GB).
I would think the 5GB model, the very first is most collectable and the earlier it was made the better. I don't think it would affect value much though.
According to MacTracker:
The M8513LL/A order number is for the original 5 GB Mac compatible configuration. The 10 GB model introduced March 21, 2002 was assigned M8709LL/A, and the 5 GB (Scroll Wheel) model retained when the 10 GB and 20 GB "2G/Touch Wheel" models were introduced were assigned M8513LL/B (Mac) and M8697LL/A (Windows).
That's great! Thanks a lot for the advice! The earlier one isn't in as good condition as the older one. Makes for a hard decision. Both 5gb M8513LL/A.

Looks so nice! And nice collection btw! Mines not quite that nice but I'm starting to fill in the holes. Maybe you can help me one last time. I'm looking at buying this from eBay but I'm not sure if it's a decent deal because it's not brand new or in box but it's decent condition! http://www.ebay.ca/itm/171338251711?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Looks good, only thing I would say is not to rush into a purchase if your not 100% sure.
If you really want a boxed one it may be worth waiting a little longer.
As many of you probably are, I too am an iPod collector. It's hard to explain the feeling of getting a new iPod, eventhough you know there's no need for it
...my iPhone is pretty much the only thing that gets use nowadays, but I still find myself trying to find a way to get the next one
Here's a thread to that you can creatively show your precious collection. I for one have my collection displayed as such...
Wow! That's crazy to see all of them together!! I haven't bought a new iPod since the 2nd gen iPod touch. I had the ipad nano the clip type but quickly grew out of it. Combined with my iPhone, I really haven't used my iPod much. Really cool collection!
Vintage values?
Hi all - cleaning out my climate controlled storage and found a bunch of old Mac stuff. A few time capsule items for sure. For the iPod collectors: 1. New in box, factory sealed iPod 3rd gen classic - M8976LL/A. 2. New in box, factory sealed 1st Gen original / classic. How could I go about finding the collector value? Ive just posted the 3rd Gen to see what kind of offers come across.
Thanks!

Of course they are engraved by 3rd parties - you know the list of official special editions.
But they definitely exists (I've seen photos on the web), I just cannot find them
heres all my apple Devices at the moment.
Am I imagining it or are they all the third generation of their respective lines?
haha no
my touch is a 4th Gen, same as my Shuffle, but its funny you noticed that, i havent haha
