@jwildeboer I'm so jealous!

@jwildeboer I'm so jealous! I used to have an iPod Classic 3rd gen which was a real beauty. I think I must have sold it years ago (plus it was probably only 15GB). It was such a beauty.

I see now that on eBay iPod classics sell for 200 Euros 😱 I need to set up an alert or something (I have a working iPod Touch 1st gen and an iPod Mini but their storage space is ridiculously small)

@_elena Hahaha. I seem to have a talent to be ahead of the curve by at least a year. iPods are all the rage again and have exploded in price. Just as Polaroid SX70 cameras did 5-10 years ago. I got three of them for around €5 and now they are €300+. No, I’m not selling :)

@jwildeboer amazing! (the iPod and Polaroids)

I just checked out Vinted for "iPod 3rd generation" and found two: the first on sale for 260 Euros and the second for 200 Euros. Gaaaaah 😭 It stings even more considering I OWNED one back in the day (what was I thinking giving up that beauty?)

I will wait for the right one to come along... for now I'll just enjoy my iPhone 6 as an iPod, with its proper audio jack 🥲

@jwildeboer P.S.: next time you have a hunch about something - especially photo-related - do let us know here! 😆
