You can't get rid of an engraving unless you scratch away the rest of the surface either physically or chemically which will possibly reduce resale value even further.
Let the buyer know it has an engraving and leave it up to them to get it off. That way if they mess it up its nothing to do with you.

Bleach will only make it smell like bleach. If you are desperate to get it off use something like TCut but I would advise against it. Just leave it as is.
I agree with Boobs (that sounded fun ;P)! Its best you leave it to the buyer! If the message is too personal... consider getting it etched locally and make a design out of it! Other than that.... one of the more complex and expensive ways is re-chroming which should be prioritized even below 'Not Selling'!
You could of gone 'gangsta' and said "I'm feeling Boobs". I always get a tickle out of it.
If it is essentially scratched into the back, why not try Brasso? I used that on previous iPods to remove scratches from being in my pocket and it worked well. You just need a good cloth and lots of elbow grease.
lol, man, you think taking a brillo pad is going to help with the price? People aren't going to want to pay any more for an iPod that has huge brillo pad scratches all over the back of it. If you planned on selling the iPod you shouldn't have ordered it with engraving man.
Next time don't get it engraved if you plan to sell it. Just sell it cheap and take you losses or keep it. I would never buy a personalized engraved one unless it was sold at a huge discount.
My friend's girlfriend bought him a 32 GB touch and had it engrave with
"Dave I will always love you"
She after she ordered it she found out that he really wanted a 160GB classic, but couldn't cancel the order because of the engraving. So now they have an Touch that is forsale.

The only semi-decent way to 'get rid of engraving' is to get it blocked out by engraving everything down to a rectangle of discolored metal. It'll look like someone ripped it off, but that's the breaks.
