I discovered a limited edition Simpsons Apple iPod Classic, iPod nano, iPod touch and iPod shuffles. T
here are only 2,000 of each numbered limited edition available. The numbers are etched onto the back of each along with Bart SKB, Homer D'OH! and Homer Tested patterns.
Some may say these are a work of art, but I don't agree; however, they are relatively untacky if you are a Simpsons fan or know someone who is.
Prices are a bit higher than normal iPods, but may well be worth it. With there being no question that the Simpsons are an all time classic, it makes sense to snap these up to make a fortune on eBay in years to come.
