Like I wouldn't try making a warranty claim on that one...

edit: gotta love the time warp

Just made a deal for a 5.5 gen IPOD at $185 cash still in shrink wrap.

How does that sound?

where?

i'm assuming its a 30 gig ipod. are you going to get it painted?

 

[trose49]

A guy says its still in shrink wrap 5.5 Gen Pirate on the box right? He won it or something has no reciept. Found him online. Going to meet him locally to pick up in person White 30gb 5.5 sounded good he started at 225.

You thing i should do it? It would be 263.00 including tax.

DON'T BUY IT! SCAM. a few years ago fox channel did a hidden camera bust of a man selling ipods (still shrink wrapped) at ridiculous prices on new york streets. the report bought one, took it to the next street, opened it up and it was a brick inside. shrink wraps are very easy to get, and can fool a lot of people. no reciepts no nothing. can't be trusted. you don't even know him. for 250USD you can get 30gb ipod new from the apple store.

Sounds dodge to me. Get him to open it in front of you. If it's real he won't mind as you'll definately buy it. If it's a scam, he will refuse.

I am suspect but I will have him open the box while I am there. I am meeting him a local mall (plenty of people around). Also have his phone number? and a umass email address????

Am i missing something else.

Sounds shady. I would advise to just pass over on this and pay extra for a real one at a B&M or online.

Bring your portable computer (If you have one). Download and spark the bad boy up.

Does it work?

 

[trose49]

it was as pomised unopened 5.5 gen 30gb. I opened before I paid. Untouched?

can I get a applecare on it?

I know there are a lot of scams but this guy just wanted to get rid of it lucky me
