Fake iPod nano and shuffle I recently rode with my buddy to the local flea market; he just had to take me there to purchase a phone case for his daughter of all things. During our visit I decided to get out of the car and walk through the flea market. To my surprise it was a kid selling iPods. I was not shocked at this point; I just thought it was a kid selling used iPod nanos and iPod shuffles. I picked up one of the iPod shuffles and took a look at it and the USB cover fell off without pulling it off. I was saying in the back of my head, oh, this iPod shuffle was abused – I thought nothing of it and looked at the other items his booth had to offer. I came across about 15 iPod nanos for sale at one booth. I then proceeded to pick up one outside of the box and to my surprise it had a “vol” printed where the play button is normally positioned at the bottom of the scroll/touch wheel. I could not hold back, my mouth blurted out “what the hell is this” before I knew it. They kid said “what’s wrong, do you want to buy one”. I said “hell no, this is not an iPod nano, what is this?” The kid said “Do you want one or not, I am closing my booth, going to lunch”. At this point I am laughing hysterically in this kids face telling him “you’re selling fake iPods, what the heck” To make this long story short I asked my buddy if I could report this kid and he said he does not think so, he has a right to sell these items. I left before I could look at the other markings of the fake iPod to see where it was made. The screen didn’t even look like the iPod’s interface. 
I had to share this with my users. I honestly thought the fake iPods disappeared. I won’t disclose the location of the flea market because this kid looked pretty young and I am sure if this is illegal he will get caught sooner or later. If any of you witness this please email me or post a comment below.

Yes, I saw some that are on www.ubid.com ... funny though... i thought ubid.com was a good company until i saw the fake ipods and such that they sell. They call them MP4 players instead of iPods so they don't get in trouble. Interesting. Check it out... http://www.ubid.com you will see them listed!

fake iPods keep the market at decent prices. And that includes both true "fake" as well as copies by the competition.
PS: if it doesn't have a fake part number it's not counterfit, it's just either breach of contract or © violation

I bought one of these fake Ipods on ebay because I thought it was the real thing and the seller had the screen turned of so that I couldnt see the picture. If any of you know how to report this to ebay the seller's name was hitechmarket88. There are also fake Iphones but on they back of it, it says HiPhone instead of IPhone.
