For Sale: New iPod Touch 4G for sale [Zurich/Schaffhausen]

I have 2 iPod Touch 4G for sale. These are the latest generation models with the cameras and FaceTime compatibility. One is the 8gb version. The other is the 32gb version.

32gb version - Price 310 CHF (vs 379 list price)

This is new. I bought it to be a Christmas present but decided to give them something else. It has been turned on to activate and languages set-up etc. (preparation for gift) but otherwise unused. It has been fully charged once and battery indicates that 1/2 charge is still there, so battery is as-new.

The earbuds are unused and still in the plastic wrapper. Same for the USB cable.

Here are photos of the 8gb one:



as you can see, in normal light you cannot see the scratch.

if i shine a light on it at the right angle you can see it:

Updated description and reduced price. I'm surprised I've not even had a "you can buy this new for X" comment.

I might be interested in this one (32GB). What languages are set up? Are you willing to reduce the price further?

Re: For Sale: New iPod Touch 4G for sale [Zurich/Schaffhausen]

Well, since you're explicitly asking for it ...

I don't know for what price you can buy comparable ipod touches on the open market, but I do think it's striking that, with respect to the 8gb model, your goal appears to be to walk away from the device only 50 chf poorer than you were when you first got it.

This was your own personal ipod touch which you were using and enjoying (no mention of for how long you had it, but long enough at least to gain the inevitable scratch) from the time (I assume) that it was totally new and it still had that feeling of being a pretty revolutionary and incredible technological advance in space-age hand-computer type gadgets.

And now you're going to unload it on some sucker who's going to receive damaged goods and sloppy seconds and who will of course see the device he pays for superseded by something probably infinitely cooler in what could be a mere matter of weeks.

If you do manage to sell it for only 50chf less than you bought it, I salute you and your apparently merciless will to power.

4 months is like 4 years in gadget world. Also don't forget the beauty scar on it. Reminds me of Al Pacino in Scarface

It's like saying that Tony Montana's scar won't be visible if you look at his other cheek. I give you 200 big ones for the 32 GB one.

Actually, I sent you an email via the forum back in December as you do not accept PM's. Never heard back.

Nope, Kasia would have offered 5 CHF and would ask you to deliver it personally carrying some take away for her .
Might be interested in the 8 giga one but I might wait until you lower the price

Yeah, I think that's closer to a fair price. I'd also be willing to spend around 200 (or only a bit more!)

My offer still stands but I am sure some mug might pay more for the oily used piece of toilet soap

If you clean up your grubby finger prints properly then I might offer you another 10 big ones taking it to a grand total of CHF210. Anything more would be a rip off.

8G version is now reserved.

32G version still available for 329CHF except to WhySoSerious, who I will be happy to sell to for 400 CHF.

What you don't understand is that if you had sold it to me for 200 I would have donated it to a teenager from a poor background in a developing country. Somewhere out there is a teenager going to bed hungry for music.

I hope you can live with yourself

Make sure it's a developing country with a GSM network.

sure, you just poke a needle in the hole (see pic on right) and you can put a sim card in it.

the reception on this ipod touch isn't that good though, esp. if you put your fingers on the gaps.
