Hi. I have two sealed new-in-box iPod Shuffles with receipts. I have one orange iPod Shuffle and one blue iPod Shuffle. The blue iPod Shuffle is the older, more vibrant (and in my view, better looking) blue. In case you don't know, there is absolutely no difference between the older and newer iPod Shuffle.. other than case colors. According to the calls I've made to stores, they have none of the old iPod Shuffles in stock. Many people prefer the older colors. For this reason, I'm offering each one for $100 + shipping.

I'll post pictures by request. Thanks, mBurns.

I'll give you $30 for the blue one.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

I'm not looking to go lower than $100 shipped for each. They're NIB and, since being discontinued, their availibility is dwindiling. I'm not looking to make much money once I equate in $79.99 + tax, shipping, and my Paypal fees. If anyone is interested, feel free to post here or PM me.

Did you buy these just to make a profit? If you have a PayPal personal account, you'll pay no fees to get the money. If you have a PayPal premium account, you'll only pay 3% to PayPal. It will cost you maybe $2 to ship this via USPS and around $5 to ship via FedEx, DHL, or UPS. You're looking at maybe $85 for PayPal and shipping. I don't know what sales tax is in your area...

But seriously. Genuine Apple shuffles are going for around $60 shipped on eBay right now. If you want to gouge your prices, go to eBay. Demand has nothing to do with it - you know as well as any of us that these are still available at or under retail. If you want to try and weasel extra cash out of these, at least wait until they're out of stock everywhere (including eBay). MacNN's Marketplace has never been the place to try and get top dollar for your stuff. Sorry.

Tax is ~8% in Washington State. Just to give you an idea.. Also, I'm in no rush to sell.

These are iPod shuffles, not Mercedes 300SLs. They are still available all over the place.

Good thing too, because there's no way in hell you'd move these at your ridiculous prices...
