You're looking to buy a hot new iPod but don't want to pay full price. What do you do, why you go to eBay of course. However, buying your iPod is not as easy as 1-2-3 as all your freinds keep saying. Actually, it is a difficult and time consuming task. But don't let this stop you, eBay is still a wonderfull tool for getting the best price and with this guide you're guaranteed to do just that. Here we go.
Step 1- The REAL iPod: Many people out in the eBay universe will try to scam you by selling you cheap things like 99.9 percent iPod or MPEG4 playback capabilities.(Click Here For Example) Beware, these things may look a heck of a lot like an iPod but they are not the real thing. You probably will end up with some device from Hong Kong with pirated software!
Step 2- The Best Price: Let's face it, this is hard. But here are some tips that will help you save big $$$$.
Watch the item you're intrested in untill the last few minutes. Then, bid on the item with your highest amount of cash you want to spend. For example; iPod Nano 2GB NIB, price with 5 min. left,-$156. You are willing to spend $170. You quickly place your bid ($170) in the last minute or so and hope for the best! Also, if you can, buy used. It will save you tons of mullah on your purchase.
Step 3- Shipping: One of the biggest scams on eBay is shipping. What seems like a good deal at first will instantly turn into a huge rip-off in a second. People will say something like $50 for an iPod but then $125 shipping! Read every word on the item description to avoid this problem.
Now you're ready. Go to eBay and start hunting for your dream iPod!
