Dreaming of an 80GB iPod

[sylvar]

I'm selling a 1GB black iPod on eBay; the auction ends Sunday. As an eBay seller, I try to help buyers understand what their costs will be -- so I'm offering free USPS Priority Mail shipping (to the US), with free insurance

Hey hun - quick question.
With an ipod - must one use iTunes?
I'm afraid of iTunes, I don't want it to eat all the songs on my computer.
Can I avoid this.
I know I've been saying I'd take this off your hands for a while now - and I really may be able to do it this month. I'd like to follow through on it, but that question just came up because Darlene recently got an iPod and iTunes at half of her stuff and converted all her file formats (which I wouldn't want).

Thanks for the help!

One need not use iTunes; an iPod can be used as a hard drive. But iTunes need not eat your songs, either; you can tell it not to move your files into one central location, but leave them right where they are.

Tell me about Dar converting her file formats. What did she have before, and what does she have now?

I'm not 100%. I think part of it may have had to do with her attempting to synch the ipod which contained info from the ipod's previous owner with her own music library.

By the way, seeing as how I told you I'd buy the thing - I'll buy it. If I have problems, I'll just politely ask you for help. =D

I'd like to just cancel the auction, and right now I could still do that, but I don't think it's ethical. I've offered to sell it to the highest bidder.

Tell you what -- bid whatever you were planning to buy it for, and you might get it cheaper.

I don't think I'm an Ebay member. Nor do I know how to do the whole bidding thing. =(

<-- = Ebay afraid.

It's not that scary. Go ahead. It won't bite. :)

Or put a reserve price in. *shrug* It's the ONLY time i've ever heard of a halfway good reason for a reserve. :)

Who, me? Yeah, I guess I could...
