Unbelievable collection OP! I just have a couple iPods, but I love them as much as everyone else here!
That's an awesome collection. Did you ever get the gold 2nd gen shuffle? There's been some dispute over it recentlyI’ve owned approximately 200 iPods in my collecting days, but I’ve sold them all. At some point I had only a first gen iPod, but that one I sold as well. Then regret kicked in, but the prices seem to be ridiculous these days.
Today however I received my eBay order, a relatively reasonably priced first gen iPod (€250, only charger included). It’s in the best shape I’ve seen so far (having owned three) and I’m super happy! ☺

In June of 2009 the company Avon ran an offer where if you bought 2 of some product you could get a golden iPod Shuffle for $30. Recently there was a dispute on the iPod Shuffle wikipedia page over whether it was a real thing or not.What dispute? I’ve never heard of a gold 2nd gen Shuffle. Closest I got was orange ?. Never got the stainless 3rd gen though, still regret not getting one when they were released (almost bought it).

This is a picture of mine, sorry if it's a bit blurry. It's definitely not an orange one, I know for a fact this is real because the serial matches the one on the box, and it shows up as gold in iTunes. Not sure how rare these are
I corrected the edit that removed the info, anyone can go on eBay and find some for sale.Wikipedia now states correctly (I assume) the info about your model. I personally just collected original Apple spec, but some might care about special editions like HP or other brands that did partnerships and promos. If you want to know the value, I have no clue ?
I still do have my rarest iPods, love them.... but sold the rest...
Madonna, Tony Hawk, No Doubt, Harry Potter, U2 and HP models. + set of all classics in factory sealed boxes, gen 1 - gen 7Sold all? Which ones do you have left??
Guys like you are the reason why the iPod is still (somewhat) alive. Thank you for keeping it up and blessing us with pictures of your great collection!I’ve owned approximately 200 iPods in my collecting days, but I’ve sold them all.

Not everyone wants to pay for data to stream music on the go, not everyone wants to pay a monthly fee for subscription services, not everyone wants a touchscreen device for music, not everyone can deal with a device without headphone jack, not all music is available on streaming services or even iTunes for that matter, most smartphones have an inferior DAC to iPods and cannot be used with an audiphile DAC.What's the point in iPod's now? They're obsolete now that everything has turned to Apple Music and streaming. Unless you have an iPod Touch 6th / 7th generation they don't really do anything.
