Selling my 4g 20 gig black and white screen 20 gig ipod and also
including an iskin glow in the dark case for it.

The ipod looks beautiful, i want to cry looking at the condition it
is in. I've had it for about a year and 2 months and its been in the
case the whole time.

It is not completely broken, in fact i'm listening to it while i write this...

But the bad news is that it started skipping songs 2 days ago and
when i did a soft reset it came back at me with a exclamation point
and a folder error.
Restoring brought it back to life but now it tends to stall or crash when i
load a bunch of songs on it all at once. I've seen threads from
people talking about how they had this problem and fixed it by
restoring to older software and then bringing it back up to date or
how it fixed it self. Whatever the case is I'm too addicted to my
ipod to be without one and don't have the time too fool with this one.
If i had some better disk utitlities i bet that running it through some clean up would do wonders.

So I'm going to be obscene and ask for 100$+ shipping to start off
with, maybe thats too high but I wouldn't be shocked if this thing
fixes itself and its just so young my heart is broken even writing
this post. but if you want to offer something lower feel free and
maybe i'll jump on it
I'll post pictures if someone wants to see them. I sold my previous
broken ipod to king_rat and i think he was happy with the deal so
talk to him if you want to check my integrity.

sorry if this is a double post, i got an error the first time
ipod why have you forsaken me?!?!?!

Yep! I got a broken ipod from b00tang some time ago. For anyone that is wondering, it is not one of those broken ones that I sold a few weeks ago; those I got off ebay from someone that had swapped most of the good parts for bad ones and not said so in the description. The ipod that I got from b00tang was exactly as described, and I was able to fix it with a reasonable amount of effort.

I may also decide to buy this one; PM sent.
