Has anyone checked out prices for refurbished ipod classics? $300 for a 20 year old mp3 player! Insanity!

Edit: looking at the specs for the Tangara..... 16MB of internal storage???? Uhhhhhhh......... I guess the intent is to use an SD card.

Are these “refurbished” or “updated”?

An OG iPod in decent shape with original specs is cool from a collectors point of view, but even then $300 sounds steep.

But if you slap a modern li-po and higher capacity modern flash storage, maybe a haptic module? Dude. Now it’s a highly functional piece of nostalgia.
