yeah i'm selling both as a pair, so that anyone can remove and replace the screen so you have a perfect 20 gb, and use the other one to turn into apple as a rebate on your next purchase

they look like any other 4th generation out there... if by they, you mean ipods in general then that is your oppinion, the reason why it looks like they have scratches is becaus e the flash magnifies everything

Not so sure myself, but I think you can just send them in to Apple and they will give you a new one (maybe video) for free or cheap. I know a few people who broke their screens, sent it in, and got new ones, but I don't know if you need an insurance policy from apple or something. Just something to look into.

ill give u 20 bucks just to see if i can try and fix them but i dont think it's something thats doable without spending a bunch of money, if anyone gives you more than 20 they arent very smart

i can fix them...well, you will get one ipod in the end. i have the tools to do it and have taken my ipod apart numerous times. If anyone wants to jump on these, i'll make them one whole ipod for you. just throw some cash at me and i'll do it.


and you can ask "315" or "creighton" about me, im legit.

ipods are easy to fix, all you need is a tool to open them...

these tools
Click for larger image

you just have to pry the metal back off the plastic front...NOT the front off the back. from there all you need is a size 6 torx screwdriver (available at sears for like 3 bucks) and some needle nose pliers. remember which connections you disconnect cuz you have to reattach them. the little black thing is a battery, the silver thing with blue around it is the hard drive, and the green thing is the circut board. just make sure you dont rip apart ribbon connectors and its easy...


...i'll do it for $20, plus the cost of shipping the iPods each way.
