If you look at the ad, this player is not being sold as a genuine Apple iPod. It's the same i-Platinum (full metal) as sold by UXCELL, designed to look just like an iPod except in name (fooled you though, didn't it?!). If it had the name, then it would be counterfeit. As it stands, the seller is suspect in my eyes, because under two accounts, they are asking buyers to give them positive feedback (reputation building) before receiving any product. I bid on one of their players and have yet to see someone who actually received any product. See my full report in this forum in the thread "Is this a bad seller or not? You decide!"... if you dare read it all....

If you do intend to purchase a genuine ipod, i'll suggest not getting them from ebay. The chinese manufacturers nowadays are able to manufacture exactly the same outlook/casing with the 1.2" screen and exact ipod packaging.
Perhaps you could get them off some reliable retail stores for genuine stuff.
As the saying goes, if the price is too good to be true, it usually isin't true.
