hello bro,
Honestly, i think this is a pretty reasonable offer. I've checked
out the prices(orchard area) and i was offered $450 for a brand new
piece.
You might be one die-hard apple fan who values their stuff highly,
that's totally fine with me. However a smart shopper should always
shop with their brain and not with their heart.
There are a couple of points you might want to note:
1) Apple is slashing their prices by 20% to clear inventory
2) IPOD 20G color is out to replace the monochrome version, so
retailers should be reducing their prices to clear stock.
3) A forumer has the freedom to sell at whatever price he/she deems
fit. Dont forget that every week the item is not sold, it affects
the warrranty part of the product. You may think that you can fill
in the warranty form 6 mths down the road but dont think that
manufacturers are dumb. They have a date when the item leaves the
retailer and if yours is ridiculously far from theirs, i seriously
doubt they will uphold the warranty part of the bargain.
4) If you surf the MAC forum, you will know that the battery is
IPOD's weakness. So warranty is a big MUST.
I wish you all the best in your IPOD sale.
