Just on my own experiences, I wouldn't buy the copy ipods. I bought 5 ipod mini copies from China. I think that you can get away with passing them on eBay as apple ipods, but I would be careful because for me they were difficult to sell without a warranty and 3 of the 5 were faulty, one scratched, one with a broken button, and one that was in a different box and wasn't acceptable to the buyers, which made me lose money and put me off of reselling for a few months.
