IPOD CLASSIC 160gb

Hi

First time on here, I am wanting a IPOD CLASSIC 160gb. I have seen some on EBAY.

Because it is a present is it safer to but from a store due to warranty and gurantee?? and where is the cheapest?


Thanks

    It comes down to a decision: if the potentially cheaper price on Ebay is greater than the lack of warranty. If purchasing as a present, I suggest buying it from a retailer in case something happens you won't look cheap in the eyes of the recipient. A little research into price comparison should tell you who sells the cheapest Ipod. Good luck!

    Apple have not stopped making them they are still going.

    You may find bundles on with people like Argos or Currys, so that you get a little more for your money. The warranty will also start once the products has been registered or 6 weeks after it being sold in the shop, no matter where you buy it you will always get the same level of support from Apple and AppleCare.

    You're buying it as a present.

    Does the person you're buying it have a PC with almost 160Gb of free space on their hard drive?

    Because that's what they'll need if they want to use most, if not all of the iPod....
