Well, dumbass me decided that I was going to start a fun game known as buying broken ipod mini's off of ebay and returning them to the wild (only to probably be broken again by some jackass who doesn't understand why you can't drop them and throw them around all the time)
Anyways... so I ended up buying 5 ipod's (4 mini's, 1 3rd gen 30GB ipod)... All of the items were in the 60 to 80 dollar range (tying up cash in them) and I wanted to get them quickly, repair them, 2day list them and hopefully make money.
I'll tell you where it all went wrong... This week I received 2 of the ipod mini's (I guess the other 3 people don't know what they hell they're doing shipping items, but again, I digress). So I take apart one ipod that has a broken hard drive. Things go smoothly. I take apart the other ipod with a non working lcd but a "working" hard drive. Oh sure it is recognized by windows but like hell if you can add 1 gig of music in under an hour (bad sectors galore). On top of that it didn't pass the hard drive test in the ipod mini diagnostics (woohoo).
So now I'm left with 2 pieces of sh!t totally $160 some odd dollars and I can't do jack sh!t with either of them. And I'm sure I'm going to have fun with the seller as they'll probably claim they didn't know it wasn't working.
Ugh, never follow an idea where you buy multiple broken items in hope of turning them into working items in a timely and uncostly matter, it just wont f'n work.
Stupid dumbass ebay sellers.
