The Gizmophile

The hard drive finally came in the mail today.  What a quick turn around and for 20 bucks plus free shipping, I can’t complain.  Looks like I made a mistake though and only got the 10gb version instead of the 20gb model.  It’s OK since I don’t think I’ll use up that much space.  In fact, I don’t ever recall putting more than 10gb of mp3’s on this iPod.

As you can see from the picture, it looks about the same as the old one.  With the exception of the model number and the Apple logo, it looks like the old drive and based on what I found, this hard drive should work just fine with my iPod.  We’ll see about that.

Imagine clearing your house of stuff you don’t use anymore like a set of truck rims and tires or an old bicycle.  Not only will you be able to reclaim some space but you can get some money back too.  This won’t get you rich by any means but at least you can use the extra cash for something else like paying your credit card debt.

So why is it that more people aren’t using sites like eBay or Craigslist to sell their old junk.  Yes there’s a potential that you have to deal with getting scammed but if you follow some of the tips below, you can avoid it like I have.  Of course having said that I just managed to jinx myself.
