Some cunt stole my iPod Touch and I'm poor, so I'm looking to replace it with an iPod Nano. Some of the deals on eBay make me wonder a bit -- $112 new from South Korea? Should I be skeptical of refurbished models? How would you guys proceed?

Why not just buy straight from Apple if you're paranoid? It's only a tiny price difference and you'll have a warranty.
The price difference is not really tiny for me, basically. And I'm not paranoid, though I would like to have a good idea of what I should look for and such.

A seller with a good feedback rating? What exactly are you asking?

As my OP says, I'm curious about refurbished models -- whether or not those are likely to break and so forth. And is there any reason to be skeptical of a seller from, say, Korea (as the OP also reads) if the rest of the listing seems legit?

I suppose they're more likely to break down than a brand new iPod. Are you looking for statistics or something? Like I said, look at the Feedback rating.

Perhaps someone who has had the experience of buying a refurbished model might lend their opinion.

I don't think that's going to help. Not all refurbished iPods are going to be the same. You could always buy refurbed from Apple. Cheaper and you'll get a warranty.

Thanks, I didn't realize you could do this and will almost certainly go this route now. Next time maybe try posting this before the belittling? ;-)
But really, thanks.

I also second buying a refurbed one from apple if you wanna go the refurbished route. They really do have great customer service, and while you might get one for a deal on ebay, you're probably gonna be looking at replacing the battery in the near future at the very least.

Refurbished is totally the way to go for buying iPods
