Something to keep in mind when you are searching for really cheap iPods, is the line between what you NEED and what you WANT. There are so many extra accessories available for iPods that the line can get a little blurry. If you get just the bare bones product, meaning just getting what you must have in order to use the device, will decrease the amount you are going to pay in the end. If you really do think that you need all the little extra things, like arm bands (which I will admit is needed if you are exercising with you iPod) you can do a separate search for them online or at the stores. The Internet is irrefutably the best place to look for bargain items. Finding really cheap iPods is relatively easy if you are willing to do a little research.
