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.

That sounds like a pre-owned price. You cannot get an accident protection plan with a used device. The only way to get a protection plan (and this would be the regular ST warranty, no accident protection), is to buy an iPod on that famous auction website and a seller there offers the warranty. To get the accident warranty from ST on Amazon, you have to buy the iPod on Amazon and it has to be brand new (not "like new" but brand new, never used, never opened).

I am sure its good for much longer but after 1 year I toss out any unused and buy new. Better safe then sorry in my book.

It's not just compatible with iPhones and iPods if you have an auxiliary cord it can be used with any smartphone or device that has a headset plug. I've used 4 different types of phones besides an iPhone and they have all worked and the iPod nano has the same headset plug for auxiliary cords so you should be fine. Just plug the auxiliary cord into your headset jack on your iPod and into the back of your iHome and your set!

It depends on when it was manufactured. Buy it new and you'll be fine. Buy it used and you'll have to check. Typically they're good for 3-5 years from purchase.

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!

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.

Depends on what you really want, yes if this is your first ipod I'd go for it, but since it is Hard drive based it will have skipping issues if your jogging or walking sometimes, otherwise if you sit at your desk and listen to it, it will be fine. Then again if you want something that will go anywhere and handle anything, go for the ipod nano, it does everything the classic does, but it's just smaller in size and storage, if you want a bigger screen that will handle anything also go for the ipod touch. When I say handle anything, I mean jogging running, being dropped, because they are flash based and wont skip.

I believe the answer is yes. This is based on pre-purchase research and not actual results as I have not gotten to using it yet.I found the seller to be responsive,cooperative and very helpful since I made the purchase. On that alone, I would recommend this as a safe purchase. Hope this helps!!

Thanks for the input folks. I finally gave up and bought an Ipod nano. It does great and makes my husband a very happy listener.

Yes ... but , if your car has a USB port then I would suggest getting a flash/thumb drive and using them in place of an iPod Classic. Much less money for a flash/thumb drive and it will withstand extreme temperatures that will affect the hard drive based iPod Classic. I have a few 64 GB flash drives used for my car that cost $40 each , one iPod Classic is now around $480 (if new) and $200 for a used one. This is what you get with a new iPod Classic http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable

I have had no problems with the nano and running, but I'mnot running 10-20 miles! At 3-5 miles, it has no problems. I bought the (yeah, overpriced...) armband and it works well. I do often carry the nano around all day in my work as a carpenter, and it hasn't had problems there, either. I bought the nano because it is a flash memory player and as such has no moving parts, unlike the larger ipods that have little hard drives in them. Theoretically, with no moving parts it should be pretty immune to shaking, bouncing, etc. I couldn't use mine on a 10 mile run, as the battery life has a max of 14 hours....Best of luck,DW I have had no problems with the nano and running, but I'mnot running 10-20 miles!

I lived in Germany, traveled extensively, and used this everywhere from the UK to Romania. It's still working great after 4 years with the original iPod Nano I bought it for. No complaints (though the picture of this one looks a little different than the model I purchased 4 years ago).

You might want to try the shuffle if you don't have a lot of music (it's 1 gigabyte, 240 songs for $79) or the nano (4 gigabytes, 1000 songs for $149, 8 gigabytes, 2000 songs for $199) if you don't want to pay 300 or 400 dollars for the iPod touch.

make sure that you buy a new unit, not one of the older or refurbished ones - the newest units include a spacer adapter for the 30GB and 60GB iPod Video as well as a spacer for the Nano, and the spacers included in the prior packaging (mini, etc)

If they sell it as new on Amazon, I doubt it'd be used. Amazon isn't like Ebay, they are pretty straight with their business partners about shady stuff like this.
