Little backstory, I asked this community if I should get this iPod and everyone said yes, so I used some tactics and bid with about 3 seconds remaining, my bid went through right as the bid ended and I thought I had lost it. It started to determine the winner when boom, it said I won! I’m so happy and I’m really hoping there’s nothing that goes wrong with this one as I just had to return an iPod nano due to the battery not lasting even though I bought it from elite obsoletes. Ever since that return I’ve been missing listening to my music on an iPod and have been waiting for this bid to come to an end. Anyways, that’s all, thanks for reading

I found a seller on eBay who only sells iPod mini’s with replaced batteries and 32GB flash storage as bids, so I waited for them to post a 2nd gen and figured I would try and get it, this one got posted but while looking at the listing pictures, I saw a black line at the top of the screen which was weird to me so I asked about it, the last photo on this post is the picture they sent me and said it was just a shadow which I would believe if it wasn’t the same in every photo on the listing even with slightly different angles. Also when I look the serial number up on Apple, it doesn’t say it’s a 2nd gen, just something like “OBS iPod mini” but I don’t exactly know if apples serial number lookup says the generation for the minis. Would someone be able to confirm that’s its a 2nd gen further then just the green click wheel? It has a new housing as well so there’s no info engraved on the back. So, should I try to buy it or no? Also how much should I pay for it in the end? Thank you all in advance!
