apple killed off the ipod mini in favor of the nano back in september, but some consumers aren’t having it. on ebay, the mini actually sells for nearly 140% of its original retail cost.
Jeremy Horwitz, editor-in-chief of popular iPod site iLounge, said “there’s no reason to prefer the iPod Mini (over the Nano) on technical specs.” The Nano is faster, has better audio quality and a color screen, among other advantages, he said. So he can only guess that people are paying more for the Mini because it’s now rare, comes in more colors, and, he said, is sturdier than the Nano, which has been accused of scratching easily.
