Where Will I Find the Cheapest New iPods?

[TheMojoPin]

Long story short, I think I lost my 80 gig iPod in a cab today. I'm not optimistic about getting it back, so I've started looking into buying a new one. Am I going to find a new 120 gig classic model anywhere for significantly less than $250? Free shipping would be a plus, too.

Amazon has it for about $225.

But, yeah, Apple (like most electronics companies) keeps a pretty tight lid on the price of the iPod.

I also found a refurb for about $197 here:

i got 1 gig mp3 at ABC warehouse a coupla weeks ago for 15 bucks,if youre just gonna be a tv commercial you might want to buy cheaper and smaller.i do manly work so i dont buy expensive things that can break easily.

[TheMojoPin]

eBay might be my best bet if I want to go the refurbished route. I'm seeing 120 gig Classics there for between $100-$150 from seemingly reputable sellers.

[Gvac]

I saw a few guys in Newark selling them really cheap the other day.

I'll keep an eye out for ya.

I have a feeling Mojo's going to need more than 1Gb.

[Gvac]

He just thinks he does.

He'll just fill it up with his wimpy emo music anyway.

my bad,i thought he was a guy

[underdog]

I thought you guys got these for free at Christmas time just for being a mod.

Jon usually lavishes them with some sort of gift using the advertising dollars he raked in all year, and a couple of years ago it was indeed an iPod.

One particularly disgusting moderator even told me once "I'm done with that place. I'm just waiting to get my free Christmas gift before I leave."

True story.

[IMSlacker]

His dashboard confessional collection alone is gonna take up a couple gigs with all the bootlegs and whatnot.

True story.

One year we had a good amount of cash and we decided to show our appreciation to the mods by getting them ipod shuffles. Every other year it's been a small token. We don't exactly rake in the ad dollars, especially not now.

I always pictured Mojo more of a Barenaked Ladies/Death Cab For Cutie kinda guy.

[mikeyboy]

You tell me.

You're not even trying anymore.

[TheMojoPin]

Wait a minute, I've never gotten squat for being a mod here.

I demand that Mikey replaces my lost iPod.

[TheMojoPin]

The latter, yes. The former I should punch you in the dick for.

You shouldn't have quit and missed our brief salad days.

I DEMAND REPARATIONS.

This will not stand.

They didn't send you one for Christmas '07?

Wow.

You got fucked.

[disneyspy]

no,havin somethin that can break easily so you put it in your purse makes you a chick

[IMSlacker]

Better wear a cup, Gvac, if you want to hold on to your Barenaked Ladies CDs.

[mikeyboy]

He wasn't a mod then. He was on sabbatical.

[mikeyboy]

I DEMAND REPARATIONS.

This will not stand.

If we give you reparations, we're going to have to give them to DCReed, Jafter, Sundoggy88, Dan and Gvac as well.

You're right.

I GOT FUCKED!

I DEMAND REPARATIONS AS WELL!

Don't forget EffMeBoobs, Pootertoot, Gwen, and a few more.

[TheMojoPin]

WE WANT JUSTICE!

Give us our iPods or give us DEATH!

[mikeyboy]

Death it is.

[TheMojoPin]

The only weapons around here are made of Legos. DO YOUR WORST.

[Gvac]

Do you really think TwitterBoy and Mr.Mom would dare stand behind their threats?

I wish we had just one real man on the administrative side of this site.

[Death Metal Moe]

I didn't find a very large price difference between most of the sellers and Apple itself so I just went to Apple.

Got free shipping and those awesome 2 lines of engraving on the back. Mine are awesome, it lets anyone who picks up my iPod know it belongs to a very handsome man.

If you want refurbished, Apple is not the way to go obviously.

[Death Metal Moe]

If you were interested in a recertified, today's "Shell Shocker" deal on Newegg.com is a 120 gig iPod for 189.99, free shipping.

i haven't gone to their site in quite some time and that may be the gayest thing i've ever seen on the internet.

Term limits for mods would only serve to encourage such selfish behavior.

How about a Congressional apology?

Thanks Moe. I ended up just going with a new one of Amazon since it was about $25 cheaper plus free shipping and no sales tax. That was the biggest thing I was trying to avoid since the Chicago sales tax is hovering around 11% these days.

Ahhh sweet, gratz on the acquisition. $25 bucks cheaper and free shipping anyway is nice. It does indeed suck you lost your last one but what can ya do. Shit happens.

[TheMojoPin]

Yeah, I was gonna have to get a new one relatively soon anyway since I only had like 2 gigs of space left, though it would have been nice to have the 80 gig one to sell or gift.

Wow, what do you fill yours up with? Just uploading whole discographies? Video? Pics? I'm like 1/2 of my 120gigs full and I'm no where near at the speed to fill it to 1/2 anytime soon.

[mikeyboy]

I moved from a 60Gb to a 120Gb when I filled the 60Gb. the current breakdown is:

Music: 48.76 GB
Video: 22.31Gb (mostly Movies and TV Shows I converted from DVD)
Other 848 Mb
Free: 39.67 Gb

why not just store the tv shows at home? i would imagien you'd not watch them too oftenand wouldknow when you were planning on doing so.

I do. I have a ton of stuff that I have converted for the Ipod that I swap on and off for traveling, riding the subway, etc. I have as much stuff on there as I do now to give me some choices as to what to watch, and just because I have the space to do so.

All music, about 19,000 songs.

What can I say? I love the bands I love.

[Gvac]

I think you're all creeps watching porn on a 2 inch screen.

I just got an iPod last month.

It's only 4 gigs and it's plenty for me.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Sometimes, ya just GOTTA beat off.

[Gvac]

Apparently so, Moe.

And I think Mojo should submit the bill to JustJon and mikeyboy since he got fucked out of the moderator iPod giveaway for Christmas 2007.

[Death Metal Moe]

Lol, I don't actually have any porn on my iPod. When I got a PSP I put some on there, for what reason? Just because I fucking could! It's a new age of portable gadgets and I wanted to watch some shapely young girl having a very good time on camera.

I get your point GVAC, it's a very small screen. But when you're out somewhere it's very useful to have some TV episodes and short videos to watch. I'm probably not going to load porn on my iPod but it's nice to know I can.
