I've been hearing about the iPod for the past year but never really took to it but a few months ago.
But the price tag always deterred me.
Then I find out about iPodlounge.com and after reading through the forums and the articles, I just had to have one.
Well after a little wheeling and dealing on some parts of my car stereo, I have my first iPod.
A 3rd gen 15gb with a Belkin car adapter and FM tuner for just $300.
The guy who sold it to me even gave me the receipt so I have the remainder of the warranty. It was purchased in late May 2003 for a total of $446.
I've been messing with it for the past hour and was not impressed by the earbuds that come with it, but after listening through my regular headphones, the sound is quite good. Good enough for me at least. I will have to look for a decent pair of earbuds to replace the Apple buds.
I ordered a firewire card from Newegg so I could put on some of my songs but the guy sold it to me with about 2,000 of his own songs on it so I can still listen to it while I wait for the card. Luckily the guy has the same tastes in music so I can realistically compare.
Overall, I am very glad I picked this one up especially at the price it was being sold for. But also because of how #### cool the thing is. The best $300 I spent besides on hookers and crack.
