How Not to Get Ripped Off on Craigslist, eBay
On the weekends, I have a hobby of fixing broken iPods. Usually they just need a little reset love or some hard disk repairs and they’re good as new. One place I find these busted iPods is Craigslist.
Over the weekend, I noticed a post for a cheap, used iPod Nano at $54. That’s a fairly low price for even a first-gen Nano, so I figured it must be broken or missing parts. I thought even if it’s not in great shape, I might be able to limp it into making a great stocking stuffer for someone, so I inquired, and that’s when the fun began.
