Are old iPods worth collecting now?

Yes — old iPods can still be worth collecting now, especially if you like vintage Apple gear or want a dedicated offline music player. The strongest interest tends to be in iPod Classics, iPod Minis, and some early Nanos, and resale prices still depend heavily on condition, battery health, storage, and whether the device works.

Rough current resale ranges:

• iPod Classic (5th to 7th gen): about $80 to $250
• iPod Mini: often around $40 to $150, depending on condition and upgrades
• Early iPod Nano models: about $30 to $120
• Rare sealed or very clean units: can bring much more, sometimes hundreds or more for the right collector

Why people collect them:

• Nostalgia and vintage-tech appeal
• A dedicated offline music experience
• Refurbishment and modding interest, including storage upgrades on some models

A couple of important cautions:

• Check for battery swelling, especially on iPod Nanos, since that can damage the device and make repairs difficult.
• Condition matters a lot, and exact prices can change with the market.

So, if you’re asking as a collector, yes, they can still be a worthwhile buy — but the best ones are usually clean, working, and priced with battery condition in mind.
