Prolly because it was the first gen iPod to release, and the fact that it has never been opened, and the immense success the iPod’s have had.
That probably was a bunch of jibberish, but I think it’s comparable to un-opened GI Joe action figures and shit.

Notice it has no bids… and its international, could be a scam,

It’s not worth 1300, the person thinks it is… no bids means no buyer which means not worth it…
My guess is maybe a collector’d pay maybe 50-100 over the price of a 30gb for it… maybe… but I dont think there’s much of an iPod collectors market… Even Nintendo’s and the ppl who re-buy them, they go for 60 bux. There’s not a whole lot of “Collectors electronics”

:bsflag:
I don’t believe for one second this was never opened. It’s not like you can’t get shrink wrap and make any package appear unopened. Would it be worth $1300 to invest a little money in a heat-shrink kit? I think so.

as funny as it sounds, I know of 2 that my work had for prizes that were never given out, so they just gave them to 2 guys that I work with.
