    Ok, is this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Archos-405-20-GB-Digital-Media-Player-UK-SELLER_W0QQitemZ230395254204QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_AudioTVElectronics_PortableAudio_MP3Players?hash=item35a4a095bc

    too good to be true?

    Others have bought them and left positive feedback!

    Have you copied & pasted the product details into Google to search for product reviews? or ask on the techie board.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Have looked online, but they mainly say about the 30gb model, was completely unaware there was a 20.....asked about condition and what's with it, and have asked what the on-board memory is, as it isn't specific and that's annoying, if it's less than 8gb I'll get an ipod

    Have you looked underneath it Maz? Are there any screws? I suspect you will probably have to cut it off

    Hmm, think I may go for one from another seller. It looks a bit suspect, and there's a 605 with 30GB memory (which I know was a made and sold Archos product) for only 30 quid more, which is cheap considering the size and that it has wifi on it too

    Just got back from picking Jess up from after school club, they were all outside being supervised with sparklers, they'd all made their own toffee apples as well!
    Now very excited reading all the names of our fireworks.

    Buggar it, decided to go for the 50 quid 20GB one. If it isn't 20GB, I'll just SNAD it (and I don't mean if it's 18GB usable, more like 4GB with 3GB usable)

    I'll laugh if it's the 30GB by mistake!

    Elfen, from reading the ebay boards on here it seems stock photo's are something to be careful of. Feedback seems good though.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Scaredy, I've had halogen heaters in the past which have been great, I need to get a new one though. They're 12.50 at Wilkinsons, so I just need to get my butt into gear and go get one! I keep thinking about an oil filled one, just never seem to have enough cash spare. I might make it my next change challenge so I can get one next winter!

    Oh, and in answer to your question the other night (didn't see it till the next morning), I'm doing ok, a few little wobbles but I'll get there.
