Oops
On Wednesday, June 1, 2005, the suspect entered a freight forwarding business located in the 11000 block of La Cienega Boulevard in Pacific Area. The suspect used fraudulent means to take delivery of over 12,000 iPod MP3 players. The value of the stolen cargo exceeds $2.6 million. Detectives from the Cargo Hijack Unit are working on several leads in the case.

Yeah, but I don't want to have to go see Coldplay in concert, since they suck.
What would I do with 10 iPods?

um, wouldn't apple know the serials for all of those? Anyone who buys one from "X", and registers their iPod, it's pretty much a clue. How are the theives going to tell 12,000 iPod prospective owners they can't have access to Apple Care and they can't register it? I mean, at least one of them will want to.

When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say "live and let live."
But if this ever changing world, in which we live in, makes you give in and cry, say "live and let die."

"This auction is for 12 000 iPods... I bought these to use at School, but later had buyers remorse. Bidder must be in the USA, and must not want to register their 12 000 iPods."

I will ship these out in small quantities (10 at a time) as I would hate to have these stolen during freight."

If you read the last page of that thread, they ordered them direct from Apple. They kept getting delayed ship times and after 6 weeks the order was cancelled. They refunded everyone their money. I doubt someone trying to off load "hot" iPods would 1) Cancel the "group buy" and 2) Refund people's money.

They said they were ordering direct from Apple. In reality, they were ordering from someone who said they were ordering from someone who said they were ordering direct from Apple. I don't think the organizers of the group buy were scamming; I think the person they were buying from was being scammed.

Wow, so I mean, with 12,000 iPods, is there any way you could actually fill them all up with songs? With that many you could like use one a day, and then throw it away. You'd always have a new one... ahhh.... so clean and new...

Wow! Quick math shows you could use a NEW iPod every day for the next (almost) 33-years!
But then again, in the next 33-DAYS it will be out-dated and obsolete.
30-years from now, the current top-of-the-line iPod will be a museum piece.

1) They could use epoxy and make iPod furniture / tables / artwork?
2) ALL of their relatives and extended family would love them.
3) Party Favors, pre-loaded
4) iPod cluster server? 
5) Sell for parts?
I dunno, I imagine with that many, you could sell at cheap rates to pretty much anyone that you sort-of-knew, on a guarentee not to register. And if one or two people registered, no biggy. It would take a bunch of them to get you caught. Pawn shops? Selling to completely unaware people? Selling bulk over-seas..

yep.

The original iPod is already on display at the New York Museum of Modern Art.
