Questions & Comments
I live in a little neighborhood called Newport Shores on PCH and Orange :)
All pics have been posted and as much info as I could get off of the case has been posted too... Its truly not a scam... Im just not super well versed in the land of iPod Touch... It was manufactured in late 2011 it seems (says so on the back) and I cant find anything that says it IS a 5th Gen on the case...but I also havent found anything that said it ISNT. :) Considering how I received it... Its truly possible its the newest release that the public isnt privy too yet?... I just dont rightly know..
yes, yes, we all know it is not 5th gen.... she cannot edit that part of the listing. read all the posts and you won't be repeating the obvious!
glad you made the shipping free. i wouldn't have minded paying $10, but that is life! i am sure my bid will be overcome here pretty soon, but wanted to wish you the best Judi! lots of good people here on listia, and i can tell you are one of us!
Way 2 go judi ... im about to throw some points up there now so atleast i know its gona bring some competition on ;-)~ ( just remember there are alot of people on here that mean well & jus excuse any un.necessary stuff when it comes along )... again great auction .. good luck
lol... how funny! even if it weren't real, even the dumbest scammer wouldn't say it wasn't! :) anywho, nope I am in Denver, nowhere near SoCal... But I was on an episode of househunters on HGTV. anyway, good luck with this. i completely believe you are on the up and up!
You live in Newport Beach,Ca ? So do I!!! Maybe if I win I can come pick it up instead of having to bother with shipping!!! How cool!! I have never met someone on listia from newport :) Where so in Newport are you from?
Hi thanks for all the hard work to get this listing "just right" lol i personally appreciate it and trust me the more proof u have the more bids ul get ... im new on here to and i had to learn myself ... one thing that will really help is verifying your acct with a bank acct .. people are just scared to send money ... me personally using paypal protects both parties ... you started off with an excellent item !!! good luck & trust me toughing it out will be worth it this is an awesome site ;-)~
Thank you Snow!!!! I just verified the banking through my pay pal too... I can't seem to change my listing to reflect the free shipping though... On an iPad... any thoughts? Seems I can add to the listing with an update but cannot edit...
I just want to be clear on the shipping...if I win I don't mind paying the 10.00 and I know shipping can get a little outrageous, but I don't want to pay 10.00 then have you mail it parcel post for 5.00 or something. So my question is, how are you planning on mailing it? priority? parcel? Also, when I first started I charged shipping on my auctions and I didn't get nearly the amount of credits I should have. If you offer free shipping you'll get a lot more credits! :) Thanks!
I'm happy to do free shipping... I hadn't thought about HOW I would ship it till you asked...I guess whatever the post office would recommend for an item like this is how I'll ship...I can absolutely ship it with a delivery confirmation as well... thanks for the tips too!! EVERYONE!! Thanks for helpin:)
just wanted to let you know. there's no such thing as a 5th generation iPod. even when you go on apples website the latest one for sale is a 4th generation. just wanted to clear that up.
Thanks! I saw an earlier comment on that just now too... also just returned from the Apple Store and you are correct... now if I could just figure out how to change the listing as opposed to just updating...
Thanks for updating it, very cool listing! Are you offering the white one or the black one? I saw your first picture is both, just curious, well deff be watching this :]
NO!!! When they sent us the actual tix... It came with a notice that we should be prepared to receive large items on the spot... The letter actually said we should arrive with large SUV's and or even a BUS....!!!' They weren't lying either... I went with my sister, her hubby and my Aussie friend that invited us all....thank GAWD my sis drove and had a suburban... We BARELY fit everything... My friend and I had to put on of the guitar, amp and pickup boxes our laps...!!! A ton of people couldn't fit thief stuff in their cars and had to leave it!! Was crazy..
Thats really cool that you were on the Ellen show. My mother has been trying to get on the xmas show for years. I guess they give you tickets to a show, but you dont know ahead of time if its gonna be an xmas episode or not? I guess thats how Oprah did it anyways. Dont ask me why I know all this. Ellen is cool though, very funny. Cool listing by the way, very nice.
The tix are hard to come by for the 12 days to say the least... I was SO stoked to have been invited .... Still can't believe it.... However, there WERE 3 ladies that came and stood in the standby line the night before. They were the only people in the standby line cuz I suppose, no one thinks they can get into the big tapings...... All 3 of them were admitted and won all of the same gifts I did.... !!!!!! I am definitely going to do that same thing this year...
It IS real... This is my first listing and apparently there are a few more things I need to do in order to prove it is what the listing states it is.... Working on that now. :). Will provide my own pictures along with the air date and link of the Ellen Show episode I was fortunate enough to attend. You can see me win it, along with a ton of other items. It was for the 12 Days of Christmas and I won this on the 9th day if you want to check it out before I can get the new pics up...
I beleive you accept where you said that you opened the package and took the usb cable out and then still telling everyone that the package is still sealed. $10 is way to much to ask for shipping as you can put this in a small priority box and wrap it well send it with a confirmation # for less than $6. I know that you are new and I'mjust trying to give you a heads up. Good Luck!! I know you will make lots of creds with this!!!
I'm so sorry guys! this is frustrating me... I have everything everyone is requesting and can't load em... will have them up by end of the evening come hell or high water.... Actuallty kind of glad all of you have posted .... it never occured to me that this was or may be a scammer's haven.... so thanks for making me more aware of THAT... really.... anyway... I'll figure this out before I hit the sack... sorry for my ignorance.. ;). J
it happens, Judith... there are just a lot of scammers that would be happy to take the $10 and never ship the item... That's why folks are asking so many questions. I would leave it sealed, but just take a pic with a piece of paper with your name on it. Also if you have your bank account confirmed, it will help folks to trust you more. Best of luck on this. I can guarantee your bids will go much higher if you do these things. How cool that you won this from Ellen! I entered Oprah's Christmas giveaways and won NOTHING! :)
Not sure where you are in the country but here in So Ca, its surprisingly easy to obtain show tickets and win giveaways.....ONCE you've been lucky enough to be invited and attend a popular prime time show ...I had never attended a television taping before Ellen's, Nor had I ever received an email or phone call asking me to attend a television show taping. Since appearing on Ellen's show,I have received a BARRAGE of emails, texts and even two phone calls inviting me to attend INCREDIBLE events including the VH1 CCA Awards, Golden Globes, Chelsea Lately, etc....all with seats within the first 10 rows! Apparently casting agents watch taped audience footage and extend tix to less than sold out events .. So exciting!!
Thanks for the tips as well... will verify my banking info tonight THANK YOU!
it's the newest 2012 iPod touch. I thought that meant it was 5th Gen. I'm almost home and will take the pics and check the GEN. sorry... if the 5 hasn't been released and/or Ellen didn't get 5th gen earlier than the public, it would be a 4th gen. will confirm and post pics in like 20
