Had hoped to get a 'Used - past generation' Ipod for under a hundred bucks. Figured someone upgrading would be happy for the extra cash, and since I DON'T need mega GB's of space, I would be getting a unit cheaper than a new one that had half the capacity. Well I indeed got the 10gb Ipod for a good price....looked brand new and came with a number of new accessories that probably cost what I paid fpr the Ipod. The unit works great, tho it's 'touch' buttons are ultra sensitive and it is almost impossible to use without LOCKING it up so you don't accidentally change songs, volume, etc...not a big problem. My only quibble- and this seems true of most USED MPG players- regardless of brand- the battery life is well below average.. somewhere between 3-4 hours. Okay for short needs, but dissaponting for long hauls. Bottom line....you DO get what you pay for.... I was only willing to dole out a part of what a new unit cost and I got only part of what a new unit provides.. Pay half a loaf and that is what you will get. But given all that I think it was a good deal overall.Read full review
It's been nearly 16 years since its inception and yet it holds up as a formidable device. If you are looking for sleek/modern design and massive storage capacity, this is not an ipod for you. In that case I would recommend a 7th gen classic. This ipod is about making a statement since there aren't many people rocking retro looking iPods in 2019. The ipod 3rd gen classic AKA 3G is sure to turn some heads your way! It's more of a statement than anything. The sound quality is exactly what you would expect from apple, Excellent! I honestly believe these older models had better sound chips in them but I'm not 100% on that. The downside to this ipod is the cable for charging and sync which is something you must order online. Nobody really has those cables in stores anymore. The battery capacity of those batteries were also known to be a bit on the weak side in terms of living up to the box specs but that's nothing a 15 dollar lithium polymer or lithium ion battery can't fix. Easy to disassemble however replacement parts are hard to buy individually, best to buy a broken duplicate and swap parts. Otherwise excellent device, one of a kind and definitely worth the investment! Get one if you can. 100%Read full review

I have bought about 6 of the 3rd generation ipods, but because i fix them. i actually do like this ipod because i can easily repair it if it breaks which i have only had to do once, but they hold many features that the new ones don't. i actually own a p.c. and a Mac. and if you keep your ipod in Mac format, you will never get a Virus, if you convert it to P.C. be careful, because the minute you load LIMEWIRE or other mp3 files from free sources you can attract nice viruses that will slow it down and cause you to have to scan them or remove the hard drive and have it replaced if you don't know how to wipe it out and restart it. I have bought others because they are cool to work and the fact that the buttons light up in RED trips me out and is kind of cool i have seen through another site where they change the colors of the buttons and that makes them even cooler. The others i have purchased i have given out as gifts with music and reformatted to run with window to trustworthy people that will not burn them, but overall they are great and if and when i run into these ipods on ebay i jump on them as long as the price is affordable. can't beat it to get an IPOD for less then $20.00, plus on another note you can always use the hard drive to store files and data, and you can always find it on your computer once you classify it as data file. Hope this helps anyone wanting to buy one.Read full review
The new iPods are much more advanced in so many ways, but I will just talk about the simpler aspects. The 3G iPod is more of a collectors item than anything, if you can get one in great condition, I recommend it. It is a great iPod. The control pad is different in that to play, pause, fast forward, rewind, and any menu options are controlled by 4 round buttons above the track wheel. The track wheel only controls up and down movement wile in menu, or searching for a song. The iPod is about the size of a deck of cards very light, however it is only a 10GB. The new Classic is MUCH thinner and holds up to 160GB, even the thinner sleeker iPod Touch holds up to 64GB. The 3G 10GB is not a color screen, therefore you can rule out watching movies/TV shows, or looking at pictures. The 3G 10GB stores only audio. However without the newer advanced technologies, the 3G 10GB works perfect in that it plays audio. Apple has always had great designs, and the 3G 10GB looks very clean with the whit polished front, and the chrome mirror back, down to the 4 control buttons that light up red. If you are a collector of the older Apple products, this is a must. The only downfall to the older generation iPods, is that they are fire wire that require a different charger than the new generation iPods.Read full review
Product came as described, couple a scratches here and there but nothing some 1200 grit sandpaper and brasso couldn’t fix. Battery life, as to be expected, is pretty short. Sorta what happens to these things after almost 20 years of charging and recharging. Overall good quality for what it is.
