Hmmm i just accidentally won an iPod on eBay

LeperousDust · 18-04-2008, 12:24

I'm watching them because i'm thinking of getting a bigger iPod it can't keep up with my music (50Gb) but i threw a cheeky bid in at the end to push the price of a cheap one up and i just accidentally won an 80Gb classic for £104 but i'm not even sure if i want it now =/
Haha, what do i do

? =/

You've bought it now, but if you speak to the seller you may be able to come to a deal or something? First lesson of eBay, never bid unless you're prepared to cough up if you do win.

you cock. Buy it and re-list it?

LeperousDust · 18-04-2008, 12:46

I've been told "dont bid if you dont want to buy !" already

Yeah i was just being a cock to the guy trying to get a bargain only pushed him up £4 =/ Hmmm

I'm thinking relist possibly (cause its a bit cheaper than normal) but this is hassle and i could lose out. So i could either offer him the fees and kiss his feet so i dont get negged, or buy it anyway cause i do kinda want it, just not totally sure yet... My iPod grows long in the teeth, dodgy battery, not enough space. I looked at upgrading to 100Gb and replacing the battery and this came to the same price i just won the 80g classic for, but this way i get a new iPod (new interface/searc/coverflow/nicer case) so i'm slowly convincing myself it might be ok

Hmmmm

LOL you twonk

Do as everyone else has said, sell it on afterwards or keep it and sell your old one

LeperousDust · 18-04-2008, 14:21

Yeah i think raymond has kinda convinced me to sell my old one now

LeperousDust · 18-04-2008, 15:49

Wow, 5g 30gb ipods, generally sell on for £90 which means i've just gained 50gb or space and new firmware for about £20 at the very most =/ I would have done this ages ago if i'd noticed...

MarcLister · 18-04-2008, 16:26

Silly twonk.

Still kind of a bargain then? Going to be getting me a new iPod Classic 80Gb soonish.

Don't think I can justify 160Gb of Apple goodness.

Balls, this just arrived:
