If you sell your iPod it will help to watch for the generation that the iPod came in. This comes from how different types of iPod devices can work with different software and format changes as new models come out. A newer generation model is going to be worth more to a person through a sell my iPod process while an older generation one may not be worth as much. This is different from working to sell a PSP in that the technology for the iPod has changed more often than it has for the PSP.

A good way to find one’s generation number for something is to look at the model number of the iPod. The first few letters of the device can be a sign. For example, a fourth generation iPod Nano will have a model number that starts with MB while the fifth generation version will feature an MC model number.
