Actually, that comment was directed at lattesurf, not you, who seemed to think the player in question was being sold as a genuine iPod. As to whether or not its worth getting that item, I'd say not. I'm basing that on the fact that I purchased a similar item from the same seller (under a different name) a while back, and I've yet to pay for it, because I've yet to find a single person who received a player from them. And I have emailed some of FATBOY5434's buyers and all have left "advanced feedback" on request of the seller, as was done under the seller's other account, "TAMAINC". The low price is very inviting but that may be the lure....

He sent me an e-mail on the 11th of January:

I'm glad that you understood the great risk involved before you bought your player (as opposed to the usual "after" that most people go through). Particularly the risk that Paypal will leave you hung out to dry if you file a claim of not receiving the unit, since their $25 processing fee is more than the basic cost of the player (assuming you bought it at 24.99us). Let us know whether you received a player from FATBOY5434 and how it is if you have. I'm pretty damn sure this seller sold under other names and reopened new accounts, most likely to hide bad feedback records. It might be surprising if they weren't scammers, because they're even undercutting uxcell on the very same iplatinums.
