I feel it is fairly safe, the quality of the product should be accurate to the description. You're paying what you think the item is worth. Some people have the ability to repair these devices so partially damaged items may be for sale. Just be thorough and take your time to read all the information about the product and you should be ok. :)

Do your research and make sure the seller with a good track record (customer reviews) and their description indicates the condition of the product.

Depends on where you're buying it, if it is a friend I think theres no problem. If it is from a seller here at Amazon the best thing you can do is check his reputation.

I can't say. THe one I did have I only had it for a year and it started going out on me. After awhile I saved up and got myself a iPod Classic in black. I have used this everyday for almost 3 years and it's working alot better then my Sony ever did. For me the iPod is alot better then the Sony ever was for my needs. Thanks but I wouldn't recamend this to anyone after the problems I went though

I had a nano 2nd generation until recently when I upgraded to the classic 120. The nano and I had good times and I consireded keeping it for the gym and what not. BUt I love my music so much and my taste varies from hour to hour that I would rather keep the classic with me at all times with my entire music collection and create several playlists within it than keep my nano and not have everything I want at any given moment. So the nano will be inherited by my mom this Christmas. Yep, thats right, some seriously early "Christmas shopping" ;-)

It depends, you can get it brand new or used or refurbished, you have several buying options, you can choose where it says ¨buy new from¨ and they should be brand new.

Best advice is to buy from Amazon. While Amazon is very good at removing "scammers" it is still a good idea to buy from reputable sources or companies that you know. Also a good idea to avoid anyone who requires you to pay return postage or restocking fees if you return a mislabeled product. Read all return policies The problem I had was with a company that sold actual beats but misrepresented the specific model. but of course beats seemed to have hundreds of models! Not sure how it will work under Apple.

You might want to try the shuffle if you don't have a lot of music (it's 1 gigabyte, 240 songs for $79) or the nano (4 gigabytes, 1000 songs for $149, 8 gigabytes, 2000 songs for $199) if you don't want to pay 300 or 400 dollars for the iPod touch.

Hey dude.. I could advise you on this as it happened with me.Yes.. it is safe as long as you pay for it through amazon (ie.. no wire transfers/online transfer or other means). The worst that can happen is that you wont get the item delivered by delivery date and then your money will be refunded back which will take about 10 days.This is exactly what happened with me when I ordered an iPhone 4 32GB unlocked at $460 from mattress n more discount furniture source.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

As long as its from Amazon or a big name vendor. Stay away from used like new, they ended up being fakes.

I have had no problems with the nano and running, but I'mnot running 10-20 miles! At 3-5 miles, it has no problems. I bought the (yeah, overpriced...) armband and it works well. I do often carry the nano around all day in my work as a carpenter, and it hasn't had problems there, either. I bought the nano because it is a flash memory player and as such has no moving parts, unlike the larger ipods that have little hard drives in them. Theoretically, with no moving parts it should be pretty immune to shaking, bouncing, etc. I couldn't use mine on a 10 mile run, as the battery life has a max of 14 hours.... Best of luck, DW

I've had it since I got my ipod and it's pretty much in pristine condition, so yes.

Yes ... but , if your car has a USB port then I would suggest getting a flash/thumb drive and using them in place of an iPod Classic. Much less money for a flash/thumb drive and it will withstand extreme temperatures that will affect the hard drive based iPod Classic. I have a few 64 GB flash drives used for my car that cost $40 each , one iPod Classic is now around $480 (if new) and $200 for a used one. This is what you get with a new iPod Classic http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable

My bad. I'm such a rookie. I have ordered my ipod thru Amazon, but only seen it up close in a display counter. So at some point I will truly realize what is small, big, heavy and delicate. Thanks!

To the OP:Apple routinely unveils new products and upgrades in early September every year. Buying an iPod in August when there was a very real potential of an upgrade coming out in Sept (the old ipods hadn't been updated in 2 years) was a bad move, obviously. oh well- obviously that ipod is worth $350 to you so it's not like you lose anything from it- you just missed out on a better deal. You'll know better next time.

Depends on what you really want, yes if this is your first ipod I'd go for it, but since it is Hard drive based it will have skipping issues if your jogging or walking sometimes, otherwise if you sit at your desk and listen to it, it will be fine. Then again if you want something that will go anywhere and handle anything, go for the ipod nano, it does everything the classic does, but it's just smaller in size and storage, if you want a bigger screen that will handle anything also go for the ipod touch.When I say handle anything, I mean jogging running, being dropped, because they are flash based and wont skip.
