A fourth-generation iPod Shuffle autographed by Steve Jobs is now up for grabs on eBay.

The owner of this rare iPod Shuffle noted:

He said him and three colleagues were invited to attend an Apple event in conjunction with the “innovators of tomorrow” program, where he had the rare opportunity to ask Jobs for his signature.

Owner asked:

“I hear you’re not really one to give autographs, but I just gotta ask…. will you sign my iPod? It’s fine if you don’t want to. I’m not normally one to even ask for autographs.

And Steve Jobs answered:

“It’s quite alright. You heard that about me? Well I wouldn’t say that I don’t like giving autographs, I guess I was never comfortable with the idea solely taking credit for something, which is to me what an autograph might imply. To be honest, I think I’m the last person who should sign something. A writer signing a book I can understand, but I think if anybody within our company should sign something, it should be members from our R&D team and all the others responsible for product innovation. It’s unfortunate that they all can’t receive the same level recognition. But I suppose it’s easier this way though?….you would need a pretty big iPod to fit all those signatures”
