Answer
Amanda;

Did you know that iPod is one of the most searched for words on eBay? When you say you want one of "the new ones", do you mean you want the new 3rd generation version of this player or one that has never been used? I would recommend you do the following when searching for an iPod:

1. Put "iPod Nano blue" in search box. This search will give you ALL items with iPod Nano blue in the title.
2. On the left hand side you'll see a yellow box that reads "Narrow your search results"  Click on "Apple iPod Mp3 players"  This will give just the players,and none of the accessories.
3. In that same yellow box area you will want to click on the new title "Mp3 Player Finder"  In this area you can also check off other search criteria that is important to you such as storage capacity, color or product line. Go down to the condition box and click "New".

When I did this search I found 102 new, blue Nano's from $189.00 to a penny.  When I put 3rd Gen iPod Nano blue in the search box I came up with 31 items.  If this were my next purchase, I would take the time to look through all 102 of the listing, because I did find some NEW 3rd generation Nano's that did not have 3rd GEN in the title. Good luck finding your new iPod.
