Hey
Was scanning ebay on the off chance of finding somethign worth buying and found this...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1
Can anyone see any glaring reasons why it's £24.99 before i buy one.
Regards.

Looks very good, im thinking of buying one now!
The only thing I would be a bit worried about is the relatively low feedback he has, and the "newness" of his membership.
Saying all that, if you do a search for "mp4 player", loads of results come up for the same player from different sellers, all at the same price..
eg (this is the 2gb version)

Personally I would buy one from someone with more feedback, like the one above.

hmm that photo makes it look an awful lot like the Ipod Nano. (which ive now just read as they compare this to the I.N further down thier page..
looks ok if its as it says..does seem VERY cheap though as video players are not that long on the market really.
could be a bargain though

Heh, i bought one too... im not impressed by his feedback either but the fact he's offering one working day delievery tempted me.
Let's just hope it's legit

Well mine said "recieve as soon as 23rd august" Not that i've actually heard from the seller.
Here's hoping.
Good luck with yours tomorrow, let's hope they aren't as bad as i fear they will be

Hmm.. On reading the feedback of my seller properly, its coming from China, not UK.
So probably looking at another week for delivery..
Even more worrying is the fact some people have left feedback saying that the 4gb version is actually a 2gb, with firmware hacked to read 4gb.
So, maybe I should have practised what I preached and done a little more investigating before parting with the cash..
Anyway, on the bright side, looks like I will get something - even if it is 2GB and not 4.

I got mine today...
aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's broken already.
Literally the third song i listened to on it, the left earphone stopped working. and it's not a universal earphone plug in thing so i cant try another pair to see if they work.. so it's now working on one ear only and getting sent back.
Not impressed at all, hope you have more luck.

Mine came today. Everything worked except for the voice recorder function - it just resets when I select it. Apart from that, not bad at all for the money.
I think Ill be getting two for the kids, if they dont mind "fake" nano's!
