i bought this used ipod classic 80gb for $170 from cguthrie92, everything seems fine when the ipod arrives, cosmetic feature is not that ok but doesnt matter anyway as long as it functions flawlessly.
anyways, my wife tries to copy few of her songs to the ipod, turned out ok (using itunes). a few days passes by and a friend brought his ipod with 3000 songs and tries to copy most of it to her ipod, he first tried 2000+ but the ipod froze and got corrupted, so we have to restore it to its original state using itunes. it keeps on getting corrupted even when we try to transfer 300 songs. so we tried doing it 50 at a time, this method works, but gets corrupted again after we transfered more than 300 songs.
so i went to a an apple store and the guy told me there that the warranty on this ipod has expired, so he gave me a number of another company that repairs apple made products that specializes in ipods. the owner of that company that also repairs ipod told me that the hard drive is defective and needs to be replaced.
now i have to pay almost the same price i paid for this ipod $50 for service and another $86 for a new hard drive.
i didnt bother to contact the seller, since the first time i got the ipod and told her that the cosmetic condition if off from what she described, and she was like lets say "not very friendly", and i already gave her a positive feedback, bec. i only discovered the defective drive after a few days of use. also if you are wondering if i dropped the ipod after i received it, NO i never did, didnt even left the house until i have to bring it to an apple store and took it to a repair shop.
moral lesson i learned, never always trust used electronic products, you will never discover their defects until its too late, better buy it from someone you know personally or at a store with warranty, or better yet, when buying online, but your electronic stuff BRAND NEW.
