Have an old iPod lying around serving no purpose other than looking great? Then BuyMyBrokeniPod.com is the perfect site for you.

We pay you top dollar for your damaged Apple iPod MP3 Player. We don’t care if the iPod has a cracked screen, the hard drive busted or shows a sad face, buttons don’t work, is acting weird, is old and creepy, has water damage, or if the battery is dead. Click below to get a price quote, and in 3 easy steps turn your broken iPod into CASH!

The process appears to be rather seamless, specify which iPod model you want to sell, and specify how badly it’s damaged. You will then be given a quote on how much it’s worth and provide details of where to send it.

For example, a 30GB 5G iPod in its box with a broken screen will fetch $57.75 - not too bad for something doing nothing.

    No, they don’t sell them on ebay. If they are buying large quantities of broken iPods, like buying any quantity o broken anythings, they are looking to supply parts for all of those iPod fixit services. 

    Many places offer replacement Main Boards, buttons cases, Etc.  this is how they aquire them.

    Considering 60 million iPods are less than 2 years old,  the point is coming where there will be a much larger demand of parts, esp since the 5th gen iPod (the full HD model line) is coming up on it’s 2nd birthday.

    You can also trade in your old iPod for 10% off a new one at any Apple Store.

    I sold these guys my iPod, it wouldn’t even turn on, and they bought it. They paid me quickly, a legit service.

    Really a great service!  In most cases though, I feel like iPod fixes exist if you are savvy.  It is just a matter of finding the right fix and feeling confident about opening up your iPod and doing things yourself.  For example simple fixes like how to replace your ipod battery are readilly available online and far more cost effective than selling your iPod off or buying a new one.

    It’s worth adding that if your iPod refuses to go into Disk Mode and you hear a noticeable clicking sound the problem might just be corrosion on the HDD cable and will need cleaned

    periodically.
