Cool

No worries. I don't think it requires too much intelligence to tell whether you're buying from an individual second hand, or brand new or from a bricks-n-mortar shop with an ebay account or whatever.

For something like this, I use a shop (which in a bad-case scenario I can visit and crack heads) and gives a receipt etc. etc. But it is an *assumption* to conclude what I said equals second hand goods, there's no way I'd buy one second hand, not for £200!!!

I've said my bit, video/battery life is crap and there is some kind of software glitch that prevents shut-off after a charge/sync, this is a problem many iPod users (not ALL) have, including a friend of mine (4G iPod). It doesn't mean it's because it was bought off eBay, that would not explain the other cases. It's just an example of a mass-hyped product which has some design flaws and software glitches in some cases.

...and can I just congratulate fjdouse on the excellent clarity of the original thread title?
Adrift on a sea of "Help me!@??!" and "What the f**k is going on?" posts, I think we can safely say that this one did exactly what it said on the tin!

I too find the clickwheel a bit difficult to use. Perhaps it would be possible for Apple to add some kind of menu-based sensitivity control?
But, for an extra £20 my 5G30GB is also used to back up NEF images from my camera . . . a godsend. And it's cheaper than the Nikon Coolwalker. Lovely.

You guys make me chuckle!

Yes, I say it as I mean it. I remember someone telling me that if you never say what you really mean, then you can never really mean what you say.

To be honest, I've doing lots of creative work on my lucious Mac, but I do drop by from time to time, how could I not?
