I'd be interested in buying it, if you're still trying to sell it.

Just found mine in an old box, think can I still get it replaced?

I've heard people having bad luck lately but you might as well give it a shot! Sorry for the late reply.

These are (some) of mine. (i'm a big fan of the original click-wheel iPods)
The two 1st gen nano's in the right upper corner are in really good condition, almost without scratches on the mirror back. They have its original boxes, and they will stay in my collection.
The black one on the bottom is being picked up monday for repair under the program, after contacting Apple Care...

A couple of months ago, when the Repair Program was still on Apple's website, I've had replaced a white and a black for a silver and (dark) space gray Nano 7th gen.

The iPod classic 4th gen was my first ever Apple product. I've given it now a new battery and 128GB SSD storage space instead of the 20GB HDD.
It's a little sad for the iPod shuffle and Nano to be discontinued. The 1st gen Nano had the best design imo.

Apple recently removed its first-generation iPod nano replacement program from its support website, over five years after it started.

MacRumors contacted a few Apple Authorized Service Providers that confirmed the program has indeed ended, and we were advised to contact Apple directly. Apple's support team initially informed us the program is no longer in place, but a senior AppleCare advisor honored the program after we escalated our request.

In other words, if you still have a twelve-year-old iPod nano, you may be in luck still, but it could take some persistence to reach the right person.

The replacement program was launched worldwide in November 2011 after Apple determined that, in very rare cases, the battery in the first-generation iPod nano may overheat and pose a safety risk. The manufacturing defect is limited to iPod nano models sold between September 2005 and December 2006.
