Where to buy cheap iPod
September 24, 2007
The new iPods are now in the Philippines but where to get them the cheapest seems to be the challenge for those wanting to get their hands on the new iPod Touch, iPod Classic, and iPod Nano (that plays video).
We visited several authorized Apple resellers in Glorietta in Makati and Virra Mall in Greenhills and found that prices vary from store to store.
One reseller in Virra Mall (Digital Eye) currently sells a brand new 80GB iPod Classic for P13,500 (US$297.95) and the new 8GB iPod Nano for P10,500 (US$231.74). That was already the cheapest we found in Virra Mall, the rest of the stores there are pricier by at least P500.
Prices are more expensive in Park Square 1 in Glorietta, with the cheapest 80GB iPod Classic we found costing P14,200 (US$313.40) and the cheapest 8GB iPod Nano at P11,250 (US$248.29).
We searched online and the cheapest iPods we found are being sold by Ynzal Marketing Corp. (www.ynzal.com) of Diliman, Quezon City.
Their (introductory) prices are as follows:
iPod nano 4GB - P7,999 (US$176.54)
iPod nano 8GB - P9,999 (US$220.68)
iPod Classic 80GB - P12,999 (US$286.89)
iPod Classic 160GB - P17,999 (US$397.24)
iPod Touch 8GB - P14,999 (US$331.03) - available by October 2007
iPod Touch 16GB - P19,999 (US$441.38) - available by October 2007
Getting an iPod as a gift for Christmas? Don’t forget us! Send us one! ;)
Exchange rate: P45.31 =US$1.00

Have you bought from ynzal.com already? What’s
their address? Tel? It’s risky buying online so
I’d like to go directly to their store.

@Ian, I’m still happy with my 4th Gen iPod video so I don’t intend to get a new iPod soon. True, it’s really better to visit the Ynzal store than order online so you can take a look at their iPod stocks and ask them all the questions you have.
From their website, here’s Ynzal’s contact info:
