I don't get this!

[Professor]

Ds wants a 3rd generation I Pod for his birthday.
Me in my wisdom thought that, as there is now a 4th generation I Pod, the 3rd generation one would be a lot cheaper, but it isn't.
WHY NOT?

And if anyone knows where I can get one cheaper than the 4th generation one, please tell me.

I got a 3rd generation one half the normal price second hand off amazon just before Xmas. It was still in the box and like new. Worth a look and you might get lucky.

thanks catwhiskers10..will try there.
