I think Ebay is the way to go. local salesforums and the source for sale/trade section here at Headfi. 1000x500px-LL-5f29920f_btw.gif   Rockbox has also begun to work on versions for 6 and 7gen ipod classics.

ipodzen and ipod rapidrepair sites all sell refurbished ipods. However, I would not dismiss ebay as you can get some good deals there. Last month I was lucky to land an unopened, brand new ipod video 80gb for a good price. 

also check your luck here on head-fi, as they do turn up quite often. 

 

I've just installed a new 240gb from apricorn, and with rockbox am quite happy with the setup. I've also considered imod option but I just cant justify the cost, especially when you consider the new DAPs that are out now.

You got a new one? do you remember the name of the seller? Never heard of ipodzen, any headfiers out there that have experience with them?

the person I bought it from is not a power seller or anything. apparently he had a few from his business and that one was never opened, so I was lucky to see and bid in that one. 

 

as for ipodzens, I remember someone on head-fi buying from them and left a positive remark. thats as much as I know about the company. seems like similar to rapidrepairs, selling refurbished ipods. 

 

if you want some limited warranty, your choices are ipodzens or rapidrepair. otherwise look for some ipods here on sale or ebay. 

Another option is to buy imodded ipods directly from ALO or Whiplash Audio (Whipmod). you can choose the hard drive size you want, and also get warranty.
