"I purchased this as a Christmas gift to my 16 y/o, but the pause button was defective and she wasn't able to utilize it. Maybe this is the reason it was refurbished to begin with. You get what you pay for!"

"I was hesitant to purchase a "refurbished" item, but decided to take the risk. The item arrived in decent working condition. There are a few scratches on front and back, but considering the savings, it's worth a few minor scratches. My only complaint is the headphones. The headphones included are NOT Apple. They are made to look like the real Apple ones, but they are definitely not. Still, I have no regrets in this purchase."

"I have purchased items from Overstocked in the past for my 5 children because it is easy, the items are affordable, and convience of delievery. This is the first time I have purchased a refurbished item and I was very disappointed. The iPOD was purchased as a gift from one of my sons. I didn't expect it to have songs already on it and especially, to not know the 'type' of songs loaded. Also; it is an older version than what was expected. Dissapointed, to say the least. I feel it was not worth the price I paid for what we got."

"Had been thinking about getting an IPod for quite some time and finally gave in and bought myself one. Am quite pleased with this purchase. Prior to this had never had any deals with one of these products but had no difficulty in figuring out how to use and was able to download all my music quick and easily without and problems. Have recommend to a few of my coworkers to go online to your site as was quite pleased with the product that I acquired from you. Have had no problems with it at all. Thanks!!"

"I was somewhat apprehensive to make this purchase because of some of the reviews that I read. I am so thankful that I took the chance to do it. I had NO problems with this product. There were no scratches on it and it did not malfunction. It works perfectly and looks brand new. Once again....Overstock came through for me."

"Took a little longer than Overstock shipments have normally taken but came within the estimated time frame. We have received most items in 2-3 days; this one took a week.
Up an operational within 15 minutes.
Recommend spending the extra money for the second generation iPod only because, according to my son, the sleeves available fit the newer iPods better."

"I purchased this factory reconditioned nano for my son's birthday. He really wanted it but I wasn't willing to pay full price. My family and I have shopped on Overstock for years so I trust their products. It arrived in perfect condition and as far as I can tell works as it should. It's an amazing little machine. I want one!"

"I am very disappointed in the product. The fact that it is reconditioned is really the problem. I would buy this new the next time. The charging / sync cable is cracked at the plastic part that plugs into the Nano so I have to be very careful plugging and unplugging. The Nana is also very scratched up on all sides. The battery charge life is terrible and I have to plug it in to charge every day after about 2-3 hours of play time. The Nano also goes into some kind of DISK CHECK program all the time and sometime gets stuck in that mode. I highly reccomend NOT buying this item unless it is brand new out of box. The price difference was not significant enough to put up with these issues. Sound quality and features seem to be ok but the other problems are really difficult to deal with."
