    iPod Nanos on DHgate - Are they fakes?

    Posted 31 Aug 06 9:28 am.

    Hi everyone,

    I just had a quick look through DHgate and quickly realised that they have very good prices. I am just a bit suspicious that they might be fakes. I don't really care if they are fakes, just as long as they work exactly like the real thing. I had a look at the 2gb nanos by the seller beijing2006 and in the title it states:

    Serial# not the same on back & internal.

    What does that mean?
    Will that be a problem when you have to register your serial number into iTunes?

    I have already tried to contact the seller but he has been ignoring my emails. Any help, or a personal experience with this seller would be greatly appriciated.

    Thanks,

    They look the same, but the software is different. Also it comes with a non standard port for the ear phones, so if you want to upgrade your ear phones you're screwed. I bought 3 from them and I'm just using them as backup storage.

    I've bought several 2gb Ipods from beijing2006 and haven't had any problems. I sell both fake and real Ipods. The 2gb Ipods I received from beijing2006 seam to be real. They came sealed in the original boxes. I tested one out with Itunes and it worked great. All of the fakes i've purchased in the past won't work with itunes. Ipods are suppose to be the only mp3 player that will. Also actual Ipod headphones would fit into it. Fake Ipods require headphones with a smaller plug in.

    If your unsure check his feedback. I didn't see any negative feedback on there about fake Ipods.

    Has anyone asked him if they are fakes or refurbs? also, is there any place like best buy or staples that you could take the ipod to that could tell you if they are refurbed or fake? I thought that refurbs came in general white boxes.
