Description

Never-opened 1st generation 'Bob Marley' Apple iPod Classic

Sought-after unopened first generation Apple iPod Classic (5GB), Bob Marley special edition. The top of the box features the iconic Apple logo in white, with the four sides showing front and side views of the iPod, as well as a wonderful two-panel image of the aforementioned reggae legend with closed eyes and floating dreadlocks as he sings into a microphone. The base features the original $399 price tag, the iPod features and requirements list, and the manufacturer's label with Part No. "M8513LL/A," and Serial No. "U22092M7LG6." In very fine, still-sealed condition.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original owner: "I received the Bob Marley-themed iPod as a gift from my parents upon my graduation from college in the spring of 2002. At the time, it was a brand-new technology. I knew nothing about iPods, so I didn't open the box-although I intended to, eventually. Years passed and life got busy. I never got around to opening the gift. After I bought my first iPhone, I realized I likely wouldn't use the iPod. I considered giving it away but couldn't bring myself to part with the present from my parents. Twenty years-and five kids of my own-later, the box has sat untouched on a shelf."
