I've got a few iPod shuffles from like 2008-2010 sitting in a drawer and someone mentioned they might be collectible. Are these things worth keeping or should I just toss them? Also curious if condition really matters that much for these tiny things.
not really a hot collectible market honestly - most 2008-2010 shuffles go for like $20 - 40 on ebay if they work, way less if they're dead or scratched up. condition matters some (working beats broken obviously) but these aren't rare enough that people are hunting for mint examples the way they do with first-gen ipods. unless you've got something genuinely unusual, you're probably better off donating them or recycling if the battery's shot, since storage space is worth more than the couple bucks you'd get.
They're worth holding onto if they actually work, but we're talking maybe $30-50 tops for a functioning one in decent shape. The market's pretty flat because everyone's moved to streaming, so unless you've got a rare color variant or one still sealed in the box, condition matters less than just having it power on. If they're dead or the screens are shot, honestly not worth the effort to list them.
