About the Apple iPod 1st Generation
The original iPod went on sale in November 2001 with a 5GB hard drive (a 10GB model followed in 2002), a monochrome screen and a mechanical scroll wheel that physically turns. Check that the wheel turns smoothly, the drive spins up without clicking, and whether the battery still holds a charge.
What affects the price
- Battery life, and for hard-drive models a drive that spins up without clicking.
- Scratches on the screen and polished back, dents and a click wheel that responds everywhere.
- Original, unmodified units: flash-storage upgrades are priced separately and left out of this guide.
- Capacity and generation. Check the model number (A-number) on the back.
