Good morning, Neighbors. Up for grabs is a gently used iPod Touch 16 gig from Apple. I don't currently have an asking price, but I will gladly accept offers of any kind. There is nothing wrong with the unit, it just does not hold enough music for my liking and have used it so very little since I purchased it in June of 2009. I will provide pictures upon request. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
