seems steep to me, i bought a 3G ipod for £40 in OK condition and another 3G for £60 in mint condition, and am buying a pink 1G mini with a dead battery for about £15 in a couple of weeks. I thought that I may have overpaid a little for them. Difference is that there are probably fewer people willing to part with their 1G for a lower price due to its sentimental value, and thus, you may have to sinificantly overpay to tempt them.
