You can trash it and really throw 50$ away or you can follow the dead player recovery guide and use it as a usb drive at the least and that's assuming you can't in the hourglass mode. The choice is your but a usb drive is still better than a totally useless piece of metal.
I cannot even use it as a USB drive, because my computer will recognize the device in the Device Manager, but it won't assign it a letter as a physical drive.

I am really getting frustrated over this. But next time, I think I will pay the over $100USD and go buy a real iPod that isn't hacked, and will actually hold what it says it will hold...but this time, I will be going for even more storage capacity...at least 32gig.

I am getting ready to retract my positive feedback, and contact eBay over this. There HAS to be something I can do to either get a non-hacked replacement sent to me, or get my money refunded.

Like i said if you follow the dead player recovery guide using a 9.0.x.x full firmware you should at least be able to use it as a 1Gb usb drive which is better than nothing. Yes, buying a mp3/mp4 in a store is indeed a good idea and that's what i did personally. If you manage to get something back from that ebay guy let me know cuz after seeing how clueless he seemed the 1st time i messaged him i kinda dropped the idea of getting anything from him
