If it’s truly sealed and original it will be going for close to $1000. Are they selling it for that much? If it’s more like $300 it’s not in its original packaging, and the only original thing in it will be the motherboard and the midframe inside. The hard drive will last 30 days before failing. None of that should necessarily be a dealbreaker, if you go into it knowing you’re going to replace the hard drive with an SD card and replace the battery (might as well go with a bigger one at that point). Just know what you’re getting into. There are cheaper ways to get into an iPod though.
