Why do people spend loads of money on broken iPods?
Do a search on eBay and you'd be amazed at the amount of money people shell out for iPods that just aren't ever going to work again.
The most I saw so far was £75!

more to the point, why do people spend time looking at other people buying broken iPods?

"that just aren't ever going to work again. "
thing is, the people who are buying them prolly know how to fix them, so they will work again, and then they sell it on ebay again for like 5x the price they bought it for

If you're resourceful enough, you can coerce Apple to exchange it for a new one. First of all, in the EU, there are consumer protection laws that guarantee that a product should have a "reasonable lifespan". If you wrangle with their reps enough, I'm sure it's possible. Otherwise, Apple has a "battery replacement program" for $99 US (£75) -- at least in the States. What most people don't know is that they don't bother replacing your battery. They simply send you a new or refurbished iPod (their website confirms this.)

back in the day people used to sell their ipods because they thought they were broken, when in many cases they just needed to be reset, then they'd work perfectly again.
i dunno if they still do that.
