"We apologize for any confusion. When Apple released the 3rd generation of iPod Touches, they only upgraded the 32gb+ models, and re-released the 2nd generation 8gb and 16gb models alongside them branded as 3rd gen. Within the past year, when it's been found that the 2nd gens can't update to the latest firmware, Apple denied they ever made 3rd gen 8gb and 16gb models. The only way to differentiate is the lettering on the back: two lines of words indicated a release with the 3rd gen, and 4 lines signifies 2nd gen.
I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this issue has caused you. Due to the fragile nature of used electronics, we provide a 30 day guarantee
backed by our return policy to offer our customers a month to inspect and test out the item before they decide whether they would like to keep
the item or not. Unfortunately, because your request is beyond 30 days from when you received the item, we will be unable to issue a return.
During the checkout period, and in our thank you email, we highly suggest and recommend purchasing a separate aftermarket warranty through
SquareTrade.com in order to ensure that your item will be covered by Squaretrade's warranty after our 30 day guarantee has expired. I
apologize that we could not be of further assistance at this juncture. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to assist you. We're here to help."

After filing reports here and with the BBB (and also sending some strongly-worded messaged to them), Gazelle rectified the situation.
