11. But I Choose.. The APPLE Ipod Classic 80GB from Tandy, as for a 20,000 song capacity MP3 player, it is quite cheap compared to some other Ipods and MP3 players. So for this wonderful contraption I only pay $319 compared to paying $344 at the Good Guys, I save myself about $25

12. So Now You know some shops try to rip people off, not only on MP3 players but a lot of other things.
