Just over a month ago, Apple announced that it had sold over 100 million iPods worldwide. Unfortunately iPods break, get damaged or tempting new models come along so people upgrade. However one business has seen this as a potential market and started buymybrokenipod.com.

They offer consumers a very simple way to sell their broken or unused iPods. You use their site to indicate which model you would like to sell and what condition it’s in, the website then gives you an instant price that they’ll pay for your iPod. If you accept their price you then send it in and payment is transferred to you via PayPal within 24 hours of them receiving your iPod.

There are alternatives to buymybrokenipod.com, used or broken iPods could be sold on eBay, QXL, Amazon or offline. But many consumers can’t be bothered with finding out how to list a product, and don’t want to deal with potential customers. buymybrokenipod.com provides a quick and simple alternative.

They are planning to make their money by selling the iPods in bulk to small businesses who fix them before reselling them to consumers.

After hearing about this and HungryPod I wonder how many more new business opportunities there are related to iPods and who will start the first business based on the iPhone?
