Unfortunately the SB2 is really tough to score on ebay. The form factor was nice for a variety of uses. The taller SB3 is more limited IMHO as far as positioning is concerned. -- gorman gorman's Profile:

I think many of the SB3 and prior model users are simply happy campers and tend to keep their players until the unit just dies. One trend that is widely evident on this forum at least is that a good percentage of users have multiple players. I know when my Touch arrived, the SB3 in the main

As has been said the SB2 was only out 7 months when it was replaced by the SB3 so there is a lower number of used ones available. The SB2 also makes a great unit for use in Custom Projects so when they do pop up for sale, they get snapped up fast. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room:

you also get lurkers like me who've been here from the start and got through most models - some get passed on, but mostly the system just grows. I currently have 6 in daily(ish) use, the oldest of which is a SBG (not many of those around!). I still have a slimp3 in a box kicking around that I

Luckily the screen has started working again on my SB2? Maybe a bad contact I guess although that doesn't really tally with it being alive during boot and then going blank as soon as it becomes ready. Maybe a glitch withbthe brightness... All the comments about retaining them are v true, I now

I'm using an old SB2 in my workshop which I got secondhand and it's started playing up in that the screen goes blank from time to time, usually after boot. I've had a look inside and can't see anything obvious. Fine I figured, I'll check eBay, there must be loads of old SB devices going cheap on
