Electronics
Apple iPod Classic 160GB, black
The last hard-drive iPod, still wanted by people who want a phone-free music player or need to rescue an old iTunes library. Working drives, a healthy battery and a clean screen matter more than cosmetic scuffs on the metal back.
Estimated resale range (used)
$70 – $140
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Power it on and confirm the click wheel, headphone jack and hold switch all respond
- Ask whether it syncs and holds a charge, since the battery and hard drive are the usual failures
- Note any scratches, dents or engraving on the stainless back and whether a charge cable is included
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
