The Apple iPod is one of the most popular consumer products to come along in the last decade. Since their first appearance in late 2001, Apple has produced many models of the iPod. One of the most popular iPod models is the Nano. In fact there have been three generations of the Nano; beginning with the 1 GB with only picture viewing capabilities right on up to the 8 GB Nano which gave its owner the ability to actually watch video.

These multi-generational releases has resulted in thousands of Nano owners upgrading to the latest model. Consequently thousands of Nanos have found their way onto online auction sites such as eBay making them available to anyone looking to buy a used iPod Nano online.

But just because they're available online, why should anybody want to buy a used iPod Nano online? In my opinion, there are many reasons to buy a used iPod Nano online, but here are my top three.

Price! Price! And Price!

The biggest reason that people will consider buying a used iPod online is because of the price. It is one of the factors that made sites such as eBay so popular to begin with. We've all heard stories of someone buying a computer, a rare collectible, or even a car on eBay at a fraction of the price that they would have paid in a bricks and mortar store. As result, millions of people every day log onto eBay hoping to become part of one of those stories.

And of course it's true. Every day people find the exact the iPod Nano in the exact color with the exact accessories that they need at a fraction of the price that they would pay. Sometimes, they're even able to get a bargain on a completely new iPod Nano.

Security

It sounds strange to say that buying on eBay can be safer than buying in a bricks and mortar store from someone you deal with in person. This is because experienced eBay sellers have a profile for everyone to see. This means that you will know how others, who have purchased things from the same seller, feel about them as reflected in their feedback scores. Consequently, their reputation is available for anyone to see-unlike the clerk or owner at an electronics store.

You'll know whether they are straight shooter or scammer, whether they deliver on time or deliver late. And most importantly you will know exactly what you will be paying for. EBay makes this transaction transparent.

Selection

Every day millions of people try to sell millions of things to millions of other people. This is especially true for a popular item such as the Apple iPod Nano. As a result you will be able to choose not just from one, but from several of the iPod Nanos that appeal to you. You have a choice of colors. Sizes. Generation. The amount of memory. And price points.

The combination of price, security, and selection ensures that you get what you want, at the price you want, and all the while having the security of knowing the exact reputation of the seller you're dealing with.
