Ipods - I need help!

[EllenFrasier]

My kids had Ipod Nano's. Then my son bought an Ipod Video. It got broke and the Apple Store in the mall wants to charge him $125 to fix it. Someone on the boards suggested he try to fix it, but he's all thumbs and it would not end well, lol
So he wants a new one and thought it would make a great Christmas gift. Unfortunately, they seem to all be $200+ for the bigger ones. He doesn't want a Nano.
He wants an Ipod because he has the docking station and uses ITunes, etc. to download songs.
Are there any Ipods out there that are inbetween a Nano and an Itouch?

Unfortunately no.

Your choices are shuffle, nano, touch, classic.

Suggested retail on even the least expensive models of both the touch and the classic start in the $230 - $250 range. You'll have to find a pretty good sale to get a new one much under $200.

I've bought refurbished iPods before and never had a problem with them. I'm not sure how much that will save you though, or if you even want to go that route. Just a thought.

Good Luck, I hope you come up with a solution.

Sell the broken one on ebay to defray the cost of the new one. It's surprising how much you can get for a fully-disclosed broken ipod.

check out http://www.entertainmart.net/ you can get a used one for much cheaper. I just bought my dd one for Christmas it works just fine and is in good shape! also check out the refurbished apple outlet, http://store.apple.com/ they are still high, but i've had good luck with them too! good luck!

I wonder if you called apple, not the store in the mall but the company directly. My uncle has said they are pretty helpful with things, $125? I think I paid less than that for my refurbed iPod Nano that I <3
