Help with finding a Player
 

Hello,

A few months ago, I lost my iPod Nano and have come to terms with the fact that it isn't coming back. After having a portable music withdrawl, I decided to check eBay for a similar player and ended up stumbling across a player that was "Nano-like" and had no mention of any brand name at all. The specifications looked really good, especially for the low price.

Instead of bidding on something that I was fairly convinced was completely fake, I did a few Google searches and eventually ended up at this forum. Everyone here appears to be knowledgeable about these players, and so I hope that I can have some questions answered:

Where is a legitimate place to buy a player? I see a lot of them on eBay, but I see a lot of complaints about hacked players being purchased from there. Are there certain things that I can look for in an auction or questions to ask a seller to verify that the unit isn't hacked? In particular, I was interested in the products offered by this seller: http://search.ebay.com/search/search...trypage=search

Here is a question that I sent to the seller regarding this item: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-2GB-MP3-MP4-...QcmdZViewItem:

And here's the response I received:

Have I asked the right questions, and does it appear that I have found a legitimate player?

I appreciate anyone's insight.

to0g , there is absolutely no way of telling whether a player's been hacked or not, only a format would reveal the true size. Sometimes the sellers themselves do not even know that their supplier is selling them players with hacked memory.

There are quite a few in this forum who bought their players off Uxcell.com and seems like they sell legit players.

if you'll like to try to buy off eBay, it would be better to check with their exchange policy if such a memory incident should occur. On whether you get your money back, return postage, or partial refund etc..

Hope this helps.
