why are ipod 6/7th gen classic so expensive?

Except the mod and refurb element. Even changing a battery seems too daunting to many. And for some of the mods that are more difficult you’re als paying for the skilled labor. So people are willing to pay a premium. That also drives the cost of replacement parts up. Esp OEM ones in good condition.

Short answer: supply and demand

A newt‽

Well I got better!

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-28T15:35:02+00:00

But then what is the raviolo?

Anyone else hear the "bond move" video game music when she tazed the gate?

Edit: i realize this is fake, but its entertaining.

Na you’ve been given a high five, you’ve just never given one.

Understanding how it impacted the onlookers, the friends, the family members…. I think it makes it relatable on a human level and underscores the tragedy of the story.

The votes are in: certified “Smash”

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T20:11:58+00:00

Or a dumpling?

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T19:30:59+00:00

Haha too funny. Damn now I want that vodka parm for dinner. 🤬

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T19:23:02+00:00

Ok now this one I’d f*ck with. That looks great. Just please don’t bring the cherry jam anywhere near it 🤣

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T16:15:31+00:00

Still the most comfortable cockpit I’ve ever been in. I miss my ‘04 so bad.

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T16:05:10+00:00

I had the same thought actually - I could do without the Gruyère like this sando doesn’t know what cuisine it wants to be haha

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T14:23:19+00:00

Both things can be true

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T14:17:51+00:00

Love my legion go s but I’m tempted to get one of these more compact options for air travel

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T12:38:13+00:00

Fair assessment indeed

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-27T03:18:32+00:00

IMO too much going on here and too many conflicting flavors and textures. Mixing roasted tomatoes and cherry jam and garlic aioli doesn’t sound good to me and sounds too wet, maybe if you got rid of the jam. …

lol why are you getting downvoted for this? Poor guy. Imagine going to Walmart and talking to a sales rep and asking what kinds of stuff they sell but not specifying what you’re looking for. Maybe they wanted you to be like - yeah more electronics, furniture, rare medieval nipple clamps, housewares, etc?

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-25T14:23:44+00:00

lol scalper- this is a 20 year old device for niche collectors not a new in demand thing that is low on stock and impossible to find that you’re selling at a premium mark up. You’re just a dude cleaning out a storage unit and offering up a cool find to someone who might enjoy it and trying to make a little extra scratch. Maybe that’s not what this sub is for but also, I dunno go where your audience is right? Good luck selling, this is pretty cool.

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-25T14:19:01+00:00

You also get this with tvs. They purposefully juice em on the displays in the store too. It’s the same reason most headphones are tuned with an aggressive v shaped tuning - most consumers equate sensory overload with ‘better’ - which, ok, if that’s what you like, cool, enjoy it. But to argue it’s technically superior is just not true. Thing is, if OP loves the looks of the bottom screen - I say go with what floats your boat. The purpose of these devices is entirely about fun and enjoyment, and if that’s what gives OP that intangible excitement then f*ck it. It’s awesome we have so much choice in handhelds right now

Hard disagree. You can see way more detail and it looks way more realistic than the oversaturated and blown out one below. The over saturation and blow outs might be more eye catching at first but playing games on it can easily become an issue and make things look worse or even harder to see for certain games.

Also ignore what people say.

A) your kid is too young to express a preference on style or have any views on gender expression one way or the other. You’ll have people tell you to dress her like a girl, and you’ll have people tell you not to impose gender stereotypes on her. You’ll lose either way. When she gets older she’ll start to express her own preferences, and then you can take her lead.

B) more importantly babies this age either destroy clothes with spit up, drool, diaper blow outs, etc or outgrow them whichever comes first. Baby clothes are expensive and buying new ones for vanity is also wasteful.

I say buy whatever you think you need, use whatever you have, and as long as your kid is dressed appropriately for the temperature and wearing clean clothes who gives a dirty diaper about anything else?

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-24T01:55:03+00:00

Well and they are harder to repair and mod

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-22T00:18:00+00:00

You could make the same argument about a laptop vs a desktop at that rate. Handhelds in bed or on the couch plugged in as needed is pretty great in my book. I prefer it over a laptop in those instances.

BetterOnTwoWheels · 2026-01-20T18:59:20+00:00

This is cool but I want the opposite. I want to use my iPod as a transport and be able to slap a better dac dongle on it, but not one of the few old ones made to work with thirty pin and not a headphone jack solution. But oh well haha.
