Looking for a nano for my daughter... - bazookaman - 05-13-2014
Is the 5G the last one with a dock connector? She's got one of those freestanding speakers with the ipod dock on the top. So i need something with the dock connector. I figured an old nano would be the way to go.

The 6G was the last with the 30-pin connector.
A little scarce, from Apple.

The 5G is the best with the dock connector. A 16 GB model in mint condition should run you <$100. Mine still seems to have 'full' battery life (i.e. many uses between charges...)

Find one on ebay, from a reputable seller. I was looking at the version with the camera, I think that's the 5G model, for my daughter. eBay was loaded with them, when we were looking.

Although I have not tried one myself, there are 30 pin dock compatible bluetooth receivers. This could put the 7th gen Nano in play as an option.

If the unboxing experience isn't an issue, the 7G 'Pods are $99 at the Apple Refurb isle.
They have a decent selection of colors, and if the one she wants isn't available, wait a few days to a week or so, and they're replenished.

was just looking on ebay. found an 8gb version in pink for around $40. might be a winner. her birthday IS coming up.

GameStop also.

Agreed on the 16GB, on all counts.
I don't know your daughter's age, but it's a very good bet that she'd be using the camera a lot more than any of us.
If a camera isn't a big deal for her, there's always a 6G (maybe), or a 7G with an adapter (although if it's not an MFi certified device it might not work). The latter is a pricier way to go, though.
