Default 1$ mp4 players on ebay?

Check these guys out. one dollar for the player and free shipping, the seller has good ratings...... Is this going to be worth the dollar that I pay for it???

Not that I'm expecting for it to be as good as an Ipod video, but this looks like a good deal for a buck!

They just start at a dollar... look at his other auctions. They all sell for more.

there are like 50 of these things listed. All ending at about the same time. IF people just bid on ones that arent already bidded on then everyone who wants one can get it for a buck. Right? lol im new to ebay so this looks like a good deal to me.

I also just bought 8 airsoft guns for a penny and 30 dollars for shipping, I know that is a good deal!

if i am correct there is a charge if you start the bidding at a certain number, personally never used ebay in my life, i may be wrong about this... the bidding will go up eventually though, or at least the seller hopes so!

yeah, if something is a penny with like 5 days left, it usually goes up to whatever price is normal for that type of item.

a traxxas revo brand new for a dollar would probably get up to 400 or soemthing by the end of the auction due to demand of the buyers.

but since he flooded ebay with these cheap mp4 players, the price is not likely to go up and he only has a day left before the end of te auction anyway so I should be able to get it for a dollar, I hope[8D]

It worked. It was Okay I guess, but be warned. It does NOT have a click wheel despite what it looks like. Just a 4 button tactile pad.

I got 1 for NZ$17.50c. This was on my national trading site trademe. I won it and was waiting for the banking details to deposit the money. But he never contacted us and ran away from the trade because he didn't get enough lol. It was a bit dissapointing as I wouldn't have minded an mp4 player and I only had $20 to spare at the time...

Keep on eye out on a seller "dealtree" if your looking for an Mp3 Player. I got a NICE 1gig flash Mp3 player made by samsung for 31 bucks. It was new in box. Target sells the same mp3 for 149.99.

Very nice Mp3....

Sweet bigbadbowtie. Haha doahha I think i am going to just sell the airsoft guns to my friends and make some profit lol.

Well they all sold for about 30 dollars which is probably more than they are worth... The airsoft guns are a pretty good deal, 10 guns with lazers and flashlights for 30 dollars... Its pretty much pointless to bid early on things, I'm going to just try my hand at some sniping from now on

I sell on ebay here and there, and I remember reading that with those units, ur not getting what u paid for. They often have much smaller capacities and the seller is able to program them to make you think its 4gig, but when u go to put songs on it, it will only hold how ever many the real memory chip can hold. Heres a link to what I'm talking about(it specifically talks about the unit shown). http://reviews.ebay.com/nano-knock-o...00000001133177
FAKE MEMORY CAPACITY!

Another big problem around the bend is coming from overseas for the most part.... there have been some unlucky resellers from other countrys who have been stuck with this issue too though...

there has been a rash, and this has been with any unbranded mp4 players. many people (by the thousands) have been reporting getting Mp4 players with 128 Mega Bytes when purchasing 1 Gb players, but the players are altered to show the Computer that you have 1Gb of space...

As soon as you receive your player plug it up to your computer, open the drive and check the capacity. After you do that, Format the drive to FAT (not fat 32, this will ruin the player) a full format, this will than show your true capacity, if the capacity hasent drastically gone down in size than your good to go.
