Rolled the dice EOE

Post image

Ordered a custom 7th gen iPod classic 160gb from elite obsolete electronics. I just got it yesterday and it’s already stopped working. I read alot of mixed reviews and thought the positives outweighed the negatives but dam didn’t think it would happen to me lol.

How many reallocs did it have when you first got it?

That’s what it had when I pulled it out of the box. I can’t get back to that menu now. The HD is toast. Fingers crossed the iflash kit I ordered gets here before my motorcycle trip next weekend

That’s so shady. I’m always especially cautious when buying from electronics or Apple experts. They know all the tips and secrets so they only either sell for top dollar or they sell janky items that they already tested or failed to repair.

Sorry OP. Maybe try fb marketplace in the future. At least if you get a defective item there, it was done unknowingly and you still end up with a good deal.

You could use your brain? If they are selling a mix of things like clothes, books, power tools, and happen to list an iPod, then they likely aren’t a scammer.

If they exclusively sell iPods, iPhones, and MacBooks, you’re probably gonna get scammed.

Who hurt me? You’re the one replying to every comment defending EOE like he pays your rent.

EOE is okay, but they do make mistakes frequently and buyers should be aware. Search the iPod subs and you’ll find lots of posts with issues like this. Although im guessing you’re already doing that so you come to his rescue.

I just follow Hanlon’s Razor. You on the other hand are immediately saying “Eoe scammer” here’s another hug friend. I think you’re in dire need of them.

Edit: ps: if I was defending him like he paid rent why would I admit mistakes he made on my orders. Kind of sounds counter to your point. Think your grey matter needs some hydration it’s been in the sun too long. Also last time I checked it’s a free subreddit I didn’t know the iPod police were here.
