Fried iPod

For the longest time, we have wanted to get an iPod speaker docking station. Sadly they cost a small bundle. Well we found a docking station on craigslist for eight dollars, after talking with the owner we bought it. We brought it home cleaned it up and plugged our iPod into it, all of the sudden our iPod froze. I tired to revive it and nothing worked, after many hours of trying, I gave up. We contacted the previous owner and she told us not to plug anything in to the docking station cause she didn't want it to fry any of our electronics. Uh, too late. Especially since we had already told her that it fried our iPod. She told us that she had used the docking station the previous night, and that it worked perfectly. She also told us that she would pick up the docking station and refund our eight buck. When we told her that that sounded like a good idea to us, she stopped all contact. Grr, now we don't have any music in our house and we really miss it. Plus we are out eight bucks, not including the cost of our iPod!!
