Hi

eBay: Apple iPod mini Silver 4GB M9800LL/A Original Warranty (item 5867895947 end time Feb-20-06 19:20:00 PST)

Quote: The Apple iPod mini (4, 6 GB - 2nd Generation) features dual 80 MHz ARM 7TDMI processors (PortalPlayer PP5022 system on a chip) (1.), 32 MB of DRAM, a 4.0 GB or 6.0 GB hard drive, a high-output amplifier (60-mW), a proprietary "dock" USB 2.0 port (FireWire cable sold separately), a wired remote connector, and a standard headphone jack in an "ultra-portable (3.6 by 2.0 by 0.5 inches) lightweight anodized aluminum" case with a 1.67-inch white backlit LCD display. The iPod mini (2nd Generation), is similar to the original iPod mini, but was available in four stylish colors instead of five--silver, blue, green, and pink (gold was no longer available), the pressure sensitive navigation buttons on the "ClickWheel" are color-matched to the housing (these were gray on the original iPod mini regardless of the housing color), increases the battery life up-to an impressive 18 hours (from 8 hours on the original), offers the option of a larger capacity hard drive (6 GB models), no longer shipped with a FireWire cable or AC adapter standard, and started at a lower price ($199 US). The iPod mini shipped configured with the same cutomized software, a voice recorder feature, games, and an alarm clock as the original iPod mini models, and likewise has 25-minutes of skip protection. Using 128-bit encoding, the 4.0 GB model can hold approximately 1,000 songs, the same as the original, and the 6.0 GB model can hold approximately 1,500 songs. Both models can also store other file types for transport to another computer. Please note that the iPod mini (2nd Generation) is technically not a 'Mac', as it does not operate the MacOS. The Mac-compatible models, however, require the use of a Mac with USB 2.0 support (FireWire cable available as an additional purchase) and MacOS X 10.2.8 (10.3.4 or higher recommended) for complete functionality. The Windows-compatible models require a PC running Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, or Windows XP Home or Pro with Service Pack 2, and support for USB 2.0.

Hi
How about offers?

I'll offer $115 for just the iPod. No accesories, no box, no documentation, no cables, no earbuds. Just the iPod.

Hi
I think, I'd rather not split it up. I'll likely be giving eBay a try tomorrow night. Thanks for the offer nonetheless.

thats way too much, you can get a nano for that...

Hi
A 2GB nano. It seems they go anywhere from $150-225 on eBay and so it is really difficult to put a price. For all practical arguments consider mine brand new. As I said, I'm even likely including unused Apple earbuds.

Nevertheless, what's your honest fair price conclusion?

P.S. I knew I should have sold it when they were all going for ~$250 on eBay.

Hi
Now on eBay. Updated original post to reflect change. Good luck!

Hi
<3 hours remaining folks. <$115 at the time of this post.
