Funny Shuffle

Lots of opportunistic eBayers are selling iPod shuffles now. Some entries mysteriously close because the item is ‘lost or broken’ (eBay’s words). Naturally, the 1GByte versions are more sellable because they’re quite rare at the moment. However, the 512KByte versions are trying to sell for over £90.

Analysing the results of the auctions indicates that they are selling.

Some sellers are even selling from the UK. That is, after they have received stock from Apple, ‘estimating despatch by first week of February’.

Silly me for buying a 1GByte iPod shuffle direct from Apple then and not having to pay a premium for the privilege. Despatching to me on or before 25 January.
