LOL; this may be true of discontinued clothing and furniture in VMK, but most RL technology tends to depreciate over time.
There's a reason why you don't see too many used mobile phones on eBay...why would anyone want to buy your old phone when they can get a brand new phone that is smaller and has more features (and for probably less money than you originally paid for your old phone, even after adjusting for inflation)? The same logic should apply to iPods. I'm sure somebody out there is trying to collect "antique" iPods, but the supply of discarded original iPods will continue to rise for many years, further driving down the resale value.
There are many things that appreciate with age, but obsolete technology is usually just junked (to the extent that there are special recycling programs for old computers, printers, cell phones, and other unwanted/outdated tech).
