    Hmm, I don't think so :mad: i asked for an offer, he didn't make one, then i hinted that on eBay they were selling for a price range, he then made an offer which didn't meet my expectations
    At no time did I put the price up :disapprove:

    I thought it went a bit like -

    Make me an offer - don't ask me what I want for it...

    ...I'm guessing you're gonna expect about £200? I was hoping to get away with a wee bitty less than that...

    ...they're currently selling on eBay for around £110 including the songs so make me an offer...

    ...I never want to insult people by offering too low! Shall we say £100 then.

    Unless you're prepared to pay £150 including all the songs, i'll be keeping it!

    I asssumed from that initial part of that exchange that you were inviting an offer of slightly less than £110 (bearing in mind the NMS ethos you have mentioned in the past). I didn't think that you would expect Col to say "Well if I can buy one from a stranger for £110 then I'll give you £150"!?!? Apparently I'm mistaken?

    Nothing to do with me though, anyway!:blackeye: I just like putting my neb in!

    At no time did i invite an offer of anything slightly less than £110, i merely indicated that on eBay similar iPods were going for around that figure with songs. The ones i had looked at had around 1,100 songs.
    My NMS ethos still stands, i will have a go at anyone who wants to gross profiteer on this site.
    To think that selling an iPod that originally cost me £239 and now has over 8,000 songs on for £150 is trying to rip Col off or is breaking my NMS ethos is wrong.

    Well done David Brent!

    Alan, it's an iPod. The ripped songs on it are worthless, you don't have the right to sell them or even to give them for free, that's illegally sharing music - see previous threads.

    It's clear now though thanks to your explanation - you can buy one on eBay for £110 but you are looking for £150 for your one cos you are going to 'add value' by illegally sharing ripped music.

    Thanks for clearing that up!:mad:

    Nice one, who the hell is David Brent!
    Knowing that Col has all of the original tracks on MY iPod i can safely sell it to him without breaching any copy right of any artistes therein named.
    I'm adding value because i've already transferred the songs onto the iPod for him, saves him loads of time or maybe I only assumed he had the originals.

    I'm sure Col will be along shortly to personally thank you for getting involved in his thread and denying me any chance of his initial request of buying an iPod
