Have first generation ipod and ipod mini...

[leopard07]

Hi-

I did the search for "ipod collectors" b/c a family member of mine has the original ipod and was going to use as a trade in at the Apple Store for a new ipod. A tech working there suggested that he sell as a Collector's Item instead, as would be worth ALOT more than the trade in offer, so posting this in case any of you ipod collectors might be interested? I believe it is the first generation/first model released, and it uses the firewire charger. It looks practically new to me, and just noticed some minor surface scratches on the silver back -- And it works fine! I am not totally sure of the gigabytes, but "think" it is 5GB model.

I told him that I would do some research on it, so if anyone out there has any interest, or can suggest where I should further look for pricing info, etc. I would greatly appreciate

Also, I have a 4GB ipod mini (Gold Color) that is still in the box and was never used (It also charges via the firewire cable). Additionally, I have the ipod mini Dock that is in the wrapped box and unopened box.

Thanks.....

I have a first gen FW 5Gb iPod too, it's never been used!
Still boxed in the original shipping box!

Unless if it's mint, it's not worth much.
I've gotten 1G and 2G iPods for about 30 each.
Scratched, of course.

ipod mini - Gold, 4 GB, in original box & never used

I posted something in August, and just found a response from October by user dvdhsu re: the condition of my ipod mini. It is in fact in mint condition, never used, and in original box. I also have the ipod mini dock that is in the unopened box as well.

I have heard that the mini's are collector items, and specifically read that the gold color was (although not sure why or if true). Does anyone have any other info re: this topic and/or know of ipod collector websites where I might post for sale?

Thanks..

Depending on your price, I may be interested.

First-gen iPods go for a lot these days. I traded my sealed first-gen about 2 years ago (I wonder if anyone here has it?).

Meh, I got a first gen for 35, and a fourth gen for 40.
