There may be a stock photo that's being used (or copied from Google), so you will want to confirm the photo is the actual iPod you will be receiving, and the actual color, and condition.

Check for moisture damage (Water Submersion Indicator / Liquid Submersion Indicator):

Did the iPod take a spin in the washer, a dunk in the toilet, or has excessive moisture from a sweaty pocket caused hidden problems in your iPod (and void the manufacture's warranty). Here's how to check for potential moisture damage:

Check the jack (hole) for the earphones > Do you see pink? >

If not... COOL!! This is great!!

If you see pink or it's tampered with, we recommend you DO NOT purchase this iPod. If you decide to buy it, hopefully the price is low enough!! Purchase at your own risk.

Question to ask the seller: Is there any water damage? The moisture indicator in the ear phone jack... what color is it? (explain if necessary)

[ Top ]

This could reveal hidden problems. How have they treated it?

Question(s) to ask the seller: Why are you selling it? Has it ever been mishandled or dropped? Does the screen or housing have any cracks? Is there anything that I should know about it's cosmetic or working condition?

By asking these questions, you will be able to determine if you want to purchase this particular iPod or not... and how much you'll be willing to pay.

Purchasing a used iPod can be a easy and simple process, especially if it's from a local retailer, family member, or friend. It's much easier to ask questions, and see the phone's condition prior to purchasing.

You can make your online purchase pleasant as well... and probably at a much better price. However, you will want to purchase from a reputable ebay seller with plenty of positive feedback.

Things to keep in mind: Only purchase from a seller with 98% positive feedback or higher.
Only purchase your iPod from a seller with 10 feedbacks or more.
ONLY pay with PayPal (there are some great payment protections in place).
