Ipod Trade in?

Hey i was wondering if there is any ipod trade in program

I currently own 3 ipods

Ipod Mini (1st Gen).. the battery is out i guess and needs to be replaced, when i charge it, after a while it says its full, when i disconnect it from the power supply, it says battery empty

my second ipod is Ipod Nano, i think 1st gen too.. the screen broke while i was working out

3rd ipod, is nano.. nothing is wrong with it

so i am thinking of trading in all 3 ipods and getting myself the new Ipod Nano

Reasons why i want the ipod nano, because its size, i wont carry an iTouch while i work out.. too much hassle

is there a place where i can trade in 3 ipods and get store credit for the ipod Nano?

thanks in advance

(Sorry if this thread is posted in the wrong section)

At the Apple Store (not online), you can get 10% off on a new iPod for any old iPod. So use the totally broken nano for that deal. You should sell the working nano on eBay.

The mini with the dead battery... You can buy a high-cap replacement battery on eBay (with tools) for less than $10; the first gen mini had an awful stock battery. If you fix it yourself, you can use it in places you don't want to risk taking your shiny new nano.

Here's a helpful guide.

That's the only deal from Apple that I know of.

As I posted in your other thread, Apple retail store accept an old iPod for recycling and give you 10% off a new iPod. It does not even need to be working.

Why would you want to save $30 on a new iPod when you could sell your old touch for at least $200?
