I also want to add that the burn doesn't just happen with 4GB players because I got burned on a 2GB player that was really 256MB. It's one thing to pay for a 4GB player and still have 1 or 2GB that you can use, but what good is a 256MB player? Seriously!

That's interesting swfx. I thought the problem was mainly with 4Gb and 2Gb players. However if it's also 1Gb players, there is potential that up to 50% of listings on ebay are of dodgy players when you take into account the number of sellers based out of China/HK. I guess it really depends on how unscrupulous the sellers are going to be.
Most of the cheap players are out of China/HK and it is very easy to switch out proper 1gb and 2gb player with modified units as they are so prevelant there. Thinking about it my father actually has been duped into buying a dodgy 512mb mp3 player and a dodgy laptop.
What troubles me is that he's no IT gumby, he's got a masters in Elec Eng AND he's been working there for the past 6 years!!
