SOLD: iPod 20GB 4th Generation (click wheel) - clay - 01-27-2015
I just got this iPod along with some other gear, and I have no use for it. It’s one of the 4th generation white models with click wheel. Here’s some good info about it:

A couple of notes about condition:
-It has a name engraved on the back of the case. I will not share the name publicly for privacy concerns (it’s nothing offensive, just someone’s name that I know), but if it affects whether you’ll purchase it, email me and I will send it to you. This could likely be sanded/buffed out if you want.
-I assume the battery is likely no good anymore, because I can’t get it to charge. However, when I put it in a Bose dock, it will boot up normally and play music. Not sure what the deal is exactly.
-Not sure if it’s related to the battery or not, but when I plug it into the computer, it won’t fully start up or show up in iTunes. It kind of gets stuck in a startup loop where the apple logo will show on screen, I’ll hear drive activity, and then it will click off and start up again. Again, not sure whether it’s battery or drive or something else. I don’t have the time to check it out.
Since posting this elsewhere, I've been told that the power issues might be related to the fact that I don't have one of the firewire chargers that originally shipped with this model. Again, not sure, because I don't have one of those cables to test it!
I did mod one of this generation to work with a compact flash card instead of the normal hard drive. It worked great, but then eventually sold it when i got a newer iPod. Perhaps such a mod would work for someone on this one.
I’d like $25 shipped for this, anywhere in the lower 48.
