How the hell do you even break one of those? Seriously, does nobody take care of their gadgets? I've been using handheld computers of various kinds for well over fifteen years and I never broke the screen on any of them. You get a nice case, a screen protector, and that really covers a lot. I've also learned from an early age that these things are very, very expensive, and not to whip them around.

I know it's a bit late to reply, but Apple products nowadays have VERY cheap screens. They're very easy to break. For example: I have an iPad 2 with a pretty good case. I dropped it about 3 inches by accident. The screen cracked. Come on, I had an iPod Classic for 6 years and I dropped it all the time from 3 feet onto CONCRETE and it never cracked! (I was a careless child)
But on topic, buying Apple products with cracked screens is a pretty good business. Buy the product, fix up the screen for about 40 bucks, and sell it for more than you bought it for as "refurbished". Although if Chris ever touched it, I doubt you could get 5 bucks for it. Or just the opposite, as owning things related to Chris does have a market. Somewhere.

I was surfing the Cwcki and checked out Chris's Ebay page out of the blue. Looks like he sold the cracked iPod for $100. Why in the world would anyone pay that much for something that was wrecked by Chris? Excuse me if this was already mentioned.

I find it fairly amusing that he used the same newspaper article in the photo.

Here's the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-iPod-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

More amused that he offered FREE shipping... Unless that's compulsory on eBay?
