I should know better than to try and win auctions that end on Sundays. It’s when everything sells for the highest price. People are paying a lot for 20 year old device. It makes me question why I’m doing this but also I wonder how much more expensive one already modded actually is. The internet does pump up the price of certain models as they’re “the best”.

I should just focus on auctions ending mid week and bide my time. Also my uncle in law is giving me one, but that’s likely a later gen and I do want to mod another one first before making a meal of that. Particularly as later gen ones are harder to open.

Also conversations with people on eBay is difficult, buyers and sellers. Best try to avoid it where possible and fewer replies is usually better.

It would be fun to make an ultimate mod one too - with usb c, and Bluetooth. Basically what an iPod would be today.
