Default need an opinion from everyone

So, I'm about to switch ipods from my 4th gen 20gb to a 4gb nano. The reason why I am doing this is because I really want the nike+ thing for while I run and obviously it doesnt work with the 4th gen ipod.

I've tried looking on ebay to see what a reasonable selling price for the ipod would be with the itrip fm radio adaptor, and belkin car charger. However, most of the stuff that pops up when I put in ipod 4th gen comes back as a ipod skin or some other crap.

Any ideas what a reasonable selling price would be? If the consensus is that I probably couldnt sell it for anything--more than $20, then I will probably give it to someone in my family.

Thanks.

I'd just have two iPods, and skip a generation before you upgrade again (to absorb the cost over time).

I've noticed old-gen ipods don't sell too easy. I had trouble selling one awhile back.

I'd say, if you're not hurting for cash, just hold on to it. It would make a great gift for someone in the family, I'm sure.

There's 150M of them last I heard. . . I'd consider that a fairly saturated market.

Old ones are great to use and just leave in the car.

That's what I do with my old one. I actually don't have any music on my Iphone because that's what my ipod is for.

Old Ipods with failing batteries --> hardwire to vehicle instead of CD changers.

We have dedicated Nanos in two vehicles.
