Welcome to FlyerTalk, mysticmoon13. FT Community is probably not the appropriate place for ipod shopping, e-bay or "Froogle" type activities; if you want suggestions for picking up an inexpensive ipod, or have questions regarding travel technology items, there is an FT forum for related items and discussions along these lines...look for the Travel Technology forum. All things considered, with regards to getting a "low bid" on ipods, you'll probably have better luck in another bulletin board other than one than pertains to travel. Good luck in your hunt.
