Apple's first generation iPods selling like hot cakes on eBay, Amazon

It turns out that Apple's first generation iPods are still in demand as buyers are thronging eBay and Amazon to buy the music player.

According to The Independent, some versions of the iPod, which retailed for 229 pounds when Apple sold it, are selling for 670 pounds on Amazon.

eBay has sold more than 3,000 of the models since it stopped selling in stores from October.

Cheaper versions of the music player are also available on the websites.

It is reported that 80GB models are still selling under 100 pounds on eBay, with the latest 160GB models going for less than 200 pounds.

Meanwhile, users on both of the sites have reported problems with their purchases, including physical damage to the devices, the report said.
