I'm more likely to buy a new iPod from a reputable, regulated shop, from a random guy on eBay/craigslist. You're talking about small individual regulated hotels, which obviously would be a bit hit and miss with regard to quality/safety, just like buying an iPod from a small shop called the "eyeStore" is going to entail more risk than buying it from Apple or BestBuy etc.
