Donation: Non-working iaudio X5

Hi all,

I have a 20 GB iaudio X5L. Everything on it is fine, except:
-it has a ridiculous amount of distortion when playing music (like tuning into a faraway AM radio station)
-chipped paint and dings (one small but deep scratch is on the glass screen cover thingy)
-The AC adapter is broken (I will include a third-party AC adapter which works with the X5).

BTW, I changed the hard drive at one point  since I dropped my X5 and got a broken HDD error. It now has the same Toshiba model HDD and has no HDD errors.

So this includes:
-X5
-subpack
-iaudio earphones
-third-party ac adapter
-usb-OTG dongle (if I can find it; I probably will)

I do not wish to pay shipping (I live in Maryland, USA near Washington DC). If you wish for me to ship to you, send shipping+handling by paypal or something. If there are customs, then pay that to me as well. I might be persuaded to pay shipping and handling myself (for what reason? I am not sure).

I currently am using a rockbox'd gigabeat F, so I give preference to these types of people (in this order):
-LinusN
-Devs with X5 and gigabeat
-Devs with gigabeat
-Other Devs

I'm not quite sure why you would prefer to give an X5 to a dev that already has one?  I can of course see why a dev would be preferable, and on their behalf thank you for the offer, but

a)  Most of rockbox applies to all the software codec players
b)  Devs that already have an X5, um, already have one :)

As I said, I have a gigabeat. It would make little sense for a gigabeat owner to cause a dev to become enamored with another player.  :P

That being said, I will likely give it to LinusN. I just need to get a shipping and customs quote this weekend to send it from Maryland, USA (around Washington DC) to Sweden. Anybody know the best option?

So basically, you want to send it to someone so long as they're not likely to use it? This makes very little sense toward forwarding the project...

I didn't say they weren't likely to use it. Just that it wouldn't cause a major shift in priorities.
