I feel it is fairly safe, the quality of the product should be accurate to the description. You're paying what you think the item is worth. Some people have the ability to repair these devices so partially damaged items may be for sale. Just be thorough and take your time to read all the information about the product and you should be ok. :)

Do your research and make sure the seller with a good track record (customer reviews) and their description indicates the condition of the product.

Depends on where you're buying it, if it is a friend I think theres no problem. If it is from a seller here at Amazon the best thing you can do is check his reputation.

I can't say. THe one I did have I only had it for a year and it started going out on me. After awhile I saved up and got myself a iPod Classic in black. I have used this everyday for almost 3 years and it's working alot better then my Sony ever did. For me the iPod is alot better then the Sony ever was for my needs. Thanks but I wouldn't recamend this to anyone after the problems I went though

U shouldn't have a problem. It's works with my iPhone 5 no problem. So there shouldn't b any issue with the nano

Thanks for the help. Just purchased the Nano Plus. At $65, can't go wrong. Can't wait for it to arrive.

I think the reason that Amazon is selling the 5th Generation iPod Nanos for $20 less than list is that there are newer (6th Generation) ones. (Note product titles which clearly indicate product generation.)On Apple's site, the only new iPod Nanos for sale are the 6th Generation ones. Any 5th Generation Nanos that you see there are refurbished ones.

Yes everything you need is there. I purchased it for my husband and he stated that it is as good as new. He has not had any problems purchasing or listening to music on the iPod. He highly recommends it.

An iPod would be great if they lasted more than 18 mths (after your warranty conveniently expires). My second just died, and something about buying a device I know will die and can only be fixed for >/= to replacement cost leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Thus, I just bought the Ceative Zen V, my Creative Labs Rio may not be compatible with any computer but 8 years later its still running.

I would not recommend the warranty at all. I had to use it just once and if the item is dropped or has any kind of water damage, it is not covered that is if you can even get past all the run around to get to that point. My question was, how else can an iPod be damaged. What?

I am so glad to read this! I bought my son a nano last year, and have returned it three times. It needs returned again, but I'm positive it's out of warranty now. The issue is that it randomly stops playing some songs - his library went from 250+ songs that would play to less than 50. This has happened so frequesntly that we're thoroughly disgusted. The 40G iPod video we have has no such problems!

Hello Susana, Thanks for your interest! We are only reselling this used item, so we are not 100% sure about the answer to this question. However, Apple should know, so we recommend you contact them directly about this. Have a great day!

I believe you should be able to detect new from used. Scrutinize the item carefully and trust your gut feeling. I don't believe they will pass off used as new. Reputation matters and I doubt if they will risk that.

I have a nano they suck, mine has broken three times and every time i send it in it takes forever to come back if you must get one be careful dont drop them at all or the screen will split then it is imposible to see what your playing.

I haven't had any problems. I use it around the house and travel from room to room with it and leave my IPod in one spot.

My bad. I'm such a rookie. I have ordered my ipod thru Amazon, but only seen it up close in a display counter. So at some point I will truly realize what is small, big, heavy and delicate. Thanks!

I've had trouble with my 20 GB iPod freezing up during running as well; when I called Tech Support, they told me that the problem was that the hard drive has a limited skip protection capability (+/- 20 minutes). Essentially, once I exceeded that buffer, the machine would shut down to protect the hard drive. I switched to the Shuffle and have had absolutely no trouble running with it (even used it on my first marathon!), once I got a neoprene cover to protect it from sweat. The Nano is flash-based like the Shuffle, rather than hard drive-based like the iPod, so it should be fine (though I haven't personally tested it yet).
