Wanted Cheap iPod Touch

My old 1st gen iPod Touch has suffered a fatal fall causing the front glass to crack. My kids loved to play with it, so instead of spending hundreds on a new one, I was going to buy a new glass and do the replacement myself.

It occurred to me that if I could find someone willing to sell me their old Touch at a cheap enough price, that might make more sense than buying the part and spending the 2 hours needed to tear down and put back together my broken one.

So, does anyone have an old iPod Touch (any gen/model) that they would like to sell cheap? I can get the part I need for $40, so that should give you some guidance in regards to what I mean by cheap I'll pay cash and even come to you to pick it up if you want. Let me know what you have and your price.

Thanks!

 

No, this is a 1st gen iPod Touch that I have. Every gen is slightly different in regards to glass and digitizer. Same goes with iPhones. You need to get the part specific to your model. I did find one on Amazon, but reviews showed the supplier to be less than honest (ships slightly different part that won't fit, etc).

 

Yea, I checked them out during my research. They sell the part I need for $60, or I can have them repair it for $90. I think paying $90 to repair a 1st generation iPod is simply not worth it, especially when folks are selling used ones for much less than that.

I like to tinker, so I don't mind repairing it myself, but I was just wondering if it made sense to buy the part and do it myself, or just buy a used one that someone has had in a drawer for the past year and would like to get rid of.

Thanks for the tip/recommendation though, I appreciate it

 

LOL! There's always an angle, eh?

 

Thanks; while the music playing is a need, it's the 'apps' that the kids love to play with. So I either need to repair this iPod Touch, or get my hands on another one.
