I'm not sure if you are allowed to name and shame ads but this is a massive rip-off if ever I saw one.

£380 5 months ago?!!? Come on!!!!!

I bought one in December 2008 for £199 from John Lewis and it's been discontinued since January 2009. It also had a 160GB HDD as opposed to your 8GB (SD card I guess), drive. I would say it's worth £120, tops. Perhaps even less than £100 as it doesn't even have a HDD.

Sorry! I just don't like seeing naive people getting ripped off.

"For reference, all of our functional items fall into one of the following categories of cosmetic condition: Poor, Fair, Good, and Excellent."

There's the line that gives it away. This must be one of these companies that just refurb stuff and sell it in to naive people not knowing what they are buying. Who else would have the cheek to sell it at that price.
