Wizards and Redskins Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I just got off the phone with the Apple Store because I was trying to get my Nano upgraded to a Video iPod. The nano cost me 150.00 and the video iPod costs 250.00 so I have heard from people that they only paid a difference. What a shock I received. If i turn in my perfectly good Nano Apple said they would generously give me 10% off the purchase of a brand new iPod so If i did get a video iPod it would cost me 225.00 instead of 250.00. Does anyone else see this as apearing to be a rip off or is it just me? just my :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMK9973 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 So don't turn it in. I'm surprised they would give anything. Sell it on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizards and Redskins Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm not turning it in. It looks like i'll end up keeping it and then probably just buying the video one too. (and re-gift the nano) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the video ipods the hard drives go bad every couple of years. Least in my personal expericence, whatever that's worth. When they do, they aren't good for anything. So apple will give you a discount on them if you trade them in. I wouldn't trade in a perfectly good nano for 25$, either. Now a busted up useless one maybe.

However, if you have used it I can understand why Apple wouldn't just let you exchange it for a video iPod. It's pretty generous of them to offer 10%.

I'm not trying to get a brand new one for free. My friends have said they've only paid the difference so they would have only paid 100.00. Now I'm not saying they should get me a free Video one but If i paid 150 for it why shouldn't I be able to subtract that (or a little less due to the years) from the total cost of a new one?

It would have been nice if I could have done that with my t.v.. "Hey I bought this tube t.v. for $800 can I apply that to a brand new plasma?" I know companies offer this occasionally but it's not an everyday normal policy for most companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going by what my friends have done in the past. I mean I guess I just thought it would be a little more than 25.00 off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten a bunch of stuff for free from Directv by speaking with a supervisor when the first line of people say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't saying you were trying to get the video iPod for free. I don't know why Apple would let someone trade a product in and pay the difference for a different product like your friends say, especially one that is a year old. Since Apple can't resell the Nano for full price they would be losing money every time some one did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
