Is it really worth the time and effort to sell a broken iPod? We recently ran across BuyMyBrokeniPod.com, a service that buys broken iPods directly from users, and we we’re surprised by the amounts offered for broken iPods. While older generation iPods go for as little as $3, you can fetch between $44 to $55 for a broken 5th generation video iPod. Not bad for something that most people may consider worthless.

BuyMyBrokeniPod.com wants to buy your broken iPod today! We pay you top dollar for your damaged Apple iPod MP3 Player. We don’t care if the iPod has a cracked screen, the hard drive busted or shows a sad face, buttons don’t work, is acting weird, is old and creepy, has water damage, or if the battery is dead.

The service seems to be pretty straightforward - fill out their form detailing your iPod model and issues, ship them the broken iPod, and then get paid through PayPal.
