Here's a kicker. You can buy a 1 year warranty for $20 from him. BUT, squaretrade apparently is offering me a 3 year warranty for only $9. I'm going for that for sure if I keep the item. Anyone ever use that squaretrade "care plan service"?
 
My dad went to China over the summer and got 2 "8GB" Nano knock-offs for $20 each.

They only held 128MB. My little brother uses one of them, because he's 9 and doesn't know the difference. We gave the other one to my cousin, but I think it broke after a few weeks. Plus, it's easier for him to burn a cd full of songs and listen to that.

EDIT: The ones at pigpony, that Garth and AMDZen mentioned are the ones that my dad got.

Ya, I going to test the 4GB capacity right when I get it. I'm pretty sure either a) it will be 4GB or b) if it is not he's going to catch a lot of hell and I'll try to shut him out of ebay for false advertising....at which point he'll return my money and let me keep the item anyway.
 
heh yea i heard of flash drives that misreport their memory size😉 lots of cheap generic flash stuff is like that, beware.

Yeah.. the ones my dad got from China said they were 8GB in explorer, but after re-formatting them, they went down to 128MB.
 
"these sellers show simply by the fact that they wont even display their own item that they are dishonest sellers, We need to keep away from dishonest sellers."

pretty bad when u can get a good decent player with that amount of memory as regular price. well the real amount of memory😉
 
when you first get it, make sure the screen works and fill it completly. Normally the flash memory is the part they get cheap about.
