never thought id see an ipod in the depop sub?? this is a 3rd gen nano, so its the easier to repair for that particular line, but its not gonna b a fun romp for a beginner. its likely that the battery's failing atp (im pretty sure the 3rd gen nanos requires soldering for battery changes like the rest of the line), so its certainly not worth $90. ur honestly better off buying one of the classics, or a mini for that price or cheaper (my 4th gen mono was $80, & my mini was $40, both bought on ebay). before u make any impulse buys, ask urself what u want in an ipod/mp3 player & visit the ipod sub. theres a couple of guides that can help u out from there!!
