personally i hate ebay.. especially when it comes to mp3 players.. there are always some at 1$ .. so i guess there's something wrong..

it doesnt seem to dodgy. it has a delivery of £50 soo the make at least 50 when it gets sold...the low starting price attracts more people......ebay tactics imo.....

The member has 10 positive feedback.. but if in doubt don't buy :). They'll be down in price soon anyway especially as a new phone which has been brought out has been titled "death of the I-pod"

woah,....only 1gb though :dodgy: dont really like the colour of it either *-) still, dont see the point in ipods....why do you need 50,000 songs in ur pcoket?!


RE: Ebay advice by mwe99 on 03-27-2005 at 02:03 AM

Surely it will come in different colours :) And I-Pods... i guess were good when they first come out but 50,000 songs? I don't even download that many in a year!


RE: Ebay advice by FrozernFire on 03-27-2005 at 03:06 AM

er... the most now for an ipod is only 15000 for the 60gb ipod photo. and bah... who wants something that can only store 150 songs :refuck:

I heard of someone selling an xbox at a low price. It was because it was broken somehow, but it was seems they considered it to be fixable, sothey were offering it to someone who could fix.


RE: Ebay advice by Ansette on 03-27-2005 at 09:00 AM

hmmm well i presume i'd end up paying 155 for it... and the phone, interesting but id need more than 150 lol, but not 5,000 (more like 3k to be hoinest lol)

wud the ac adaptor be british? (that wud be the main problem i can imagine - i wish it to be british lol)


RE: Ebay advice by frack on 03-27-2005 at 09:04 AM

thers actually something in the new about a boy who just sold items that he didnt own or have took there money and didnt send nothing and earnt over 4000 pounds so i would watch out about ebay. also dis boy at my skool payed 250 pounds for a phone off there that never even came and ebay could do nothing about it


RE: Ebay advice by Ansette on 03-27-2005 at 09:06 AM

hmmm yeah there is always that with ebay, but members with positice feedback are normally good... ppl with no feedback or negative... not a great idea lol


RE: Ebay advice by frack on 03-27-2005 at 09:09 AM

yea if your gonna buy something always check around at the feedback so you dont get scammed it may take ages but at least that way you wont end up paying 200 for nothing


RE: Ebay advice by M73A on 03-27-2005 at 10:50 AM

it pissess me off when you buy phones of ebay....check out the mobile phones... 80% of them say in little red writing 'this auction is not for an actual mobile phone, it is for a link to a website where you can buy the phone for £80!'

they shouldn't be allowed to do that or should at least have its own section, it takes the piss:dodgy:

i kinda think that is pointless, i had a minidisk player but after two years it was scrached and out of date so an upgrade was nessasary, i have a feeling the same think will happen with my ipod, but i have 2000+ songs on it as well as 5g of documents and pictures.

You can easily go around the adaptor isue. Buy one of those sockets that can handle multiple/diff plugs (travel thingie), or (if you can get one) buy a socket (with extension cable) fit for the adaptorplug and put a british plug on it. ;)

RE: Ebay advice by frack on 03-29-2005 at 05:20 PM

i would think its because there charging you £50 to send it when it actually only cost like £10 at the most so there earning there money bk that way
just beware though
