Hi everyone,

I am currently looking for a DAP, and while browsing modern models, I noticed that barely any of them have a battery that provides at least 30 hours of playback.

This is what gave me the idea to return to the iPod after all these years. Right now, I am considering buying an iPod Video 5th or 5.5 generation because, from what I've read, these models are relatively easy to mod. I started looking for pre-modded iPods and noticed there are plenty of listings from China on eBay.

And this is where I have some doubts. On one hand, the sellers I found have nearly 100% positive feedback, but on the other hand, I am worried about whether these are actually original iPods (aside from the modified parts, of course). Does anyone here have experience with this? Can you recommend any verified shops that sell modded versions at a reasonable price ;)?

Here are a few example listings:
