- 1). Look for refurbished second-generation iPod Nanos for sale from websites and businesses that take used iPods and fix them up to "like new" status for resale. One of the best options is to purchase a refurbished iPod Nano directly from Apple (a link to refurbished Apple items is provided below in the Resources section).
- 2). Shop for refurbished iPods that come with warranties. The warranty may not be as long as one for a new iPod, but it can be useful if the iPod has trouble when you use it. The sale listing for the refurbished iPod should describe what was replaced on it. Refurbished iPods should have had their batteries replaced and any prior issues resolved before being put up for sale.
- 3). Purchase a refurbished iPod from a website such as Apple.com or Overstock.com that both sell refurbished iPod Nanos when available and include limited warranties on the refurbished items. You will need to provide your shipping and billing information in order to purchase iPods online.
If you find a refurbished iPod on another reseller website, be sure to check the customer feedback and reviews available on the reseller website. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see if many complaints have been filed against the reseller. Look for websites that offer a return policy so that you can return the iPod if there is a problem with it. - 4). Test the iPod Nano when you first receive it. Connect it to your computer via Apple iTunes, move files to it, listen to music on it, and use the scroll wheel. Ensure that the screen is easy to view and functioning properly. Be aware of screen freezing, sudden shut-offs, and excessive scratches on the iPod itself. Promptly return any iPod Nano that crashes or freezes often or appears to have been used heavily.
