Can an ipod Touch with water spilled on it be fixed? I saw someone selling it. Wondering if I should buy it and fix it if possible?
 
Ask the seller some questions about it. Does it even turn on? How much are they selling it for? What are your electronics skills like?
 
do you think I could bring it to the Apple store or send it in to get it fixed? I assume it probably doesn't turn on. I think they are selling it for less than 30$. I think its a 16gb or a 8gb
 
I would say that it would cost more to get it repaired than it would cost to buy a refurb at the Apple store.

They're not selling it for $30 for no reason.

Apple won't repair it for free, no way. There's at least one water damage indicator (in the headphone jack) that turns pink when water touches it; no doubt there's more inside too. They'll know straight away and just send it back. And paying for a repair would be costly, you'd be better off just buying a brand new one.

Stay away from it.
