I got it for $115.

I was gonna get a Black Nano, but they were just too expensive.

Is this one any good? I can't seem to find any reviews or anything about it.

That's the only thing I could really find on it. On the ebay auction, they gave it an ESRB rating of E? Haha, didn't know mp3 players were categorized by E, T or M. I think it looks pretty sweet.

one of the best mp3's I've seen. 1gb for 115 dollars is rly good if it's an mp3 cuz i pods stink anyways. I had a mini ipod and the battery broke within a yr.

Not really; you guys are used to the super-expensive iPods. They are waaaaaaaaaay over-priced. Check out the standard prices on my MP3 player.

ipods are overpriced. but its not like you're justing getting an mp3 player. you also get pretty much a whole way of life. seriously it sounds gay. but ipods are so sleek in design, the design is actually asthetic. i payed 428 for a 60 gig video ipod. ONLY because i got a 400 dollar gift card from my other ipods warranty which broke because i fell off a bike while in drunkness at a bmx trail. then i kept it in my back pocket and on the way home from my film school the trolley hit something and it pretty much derailed the rerailed again. thus making me hop 2 feet out of my seat onto a shitty steal seat. so 28 bucks for an ipod isnt bad!

No, 28 bucks is not a bad price, haha.

no they make you pay like 80 dollars to send it to them to fix it, so I just ordered my own battery and installed it myself with handy 3rd party instructions.

Okay, this isn't about iPod batteries.

And yeah, I can't find like and info on it at all. Or pictures. What's the deal? Is it like really old, or brand new, or what?

SkaterBrett- 1GB, that's like 300 Songs.

Hell yeah man! That player is rated better than the ipod w/ video and has the Cnet Editor's Choice Award and was on the Best of 05 mp3 player playlist.
I doubt you didn't already know this, one because no one would be so dumb as to place a bid on an item then ask us about it, and two because no one would be so dumb as to ask us after placing a bid!
[edit] It actually has the same rating as the iPod w/ Video; not better, as they both have an 8.3.

... Well it looks good for skating and 115$ isn't a bad price. It's pretty ugly but should be a good http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1/RidetheKrux/888820884474.gif player.

That's what I'm using. 130$ for it. Good ol' ebay. It is really pretty nice but didn't work with my computer until I changed one of the .dll files.

Umm... unless you send me pictures of that it's not true. My 20 gig iPod maxed out at about 3500 songs, which is what i have at the moment. Anyway, I've had Two iPods, Two iRiver H320's and now i've got a 30 gig Philips GoGear and i'm completely satisfied. But whatever floats your boat.

The amount of songs it can hold depends on how long the songs are and what format you put the songs in (aac, mp3, wav). So that explains that.

Since I can't afford those expenive mp3 players, I got one that holds only about 30 songs, but it was around $40 and when I've been skating I've fallen on it 3 times and nothing has happend to it.
