It's actually for the 1st Gen Shuffle, but before you say "Why the hell would I want that?", just look

[list0a946663f1]
[li0a946663f1]USB Docking Station (Actually works with flash drives too)
[li0a946663f1]Battery Pack (Should also work with the USB cable that comes with a Nano or Video to add more life, in a fix)
[li0a946663f1]RCA L/R to 3.5mm stereo Y-Cable (White) (Worth a buck on its own)
[li0a946663f1]USB Notebook Sync Cable (Just a USB extension cable, but nice)
[/listu0a946663f1]
and the clincher for me...
[list0a946663f1]
[li0a946663f1]Mini-USB to USB Cable (Yep, the kind that many portable harddrives and enclosures use)
[/listu0a946663f1]
Worth two bucks for sure. SKU 120-2377

Linky link? Will it work for iPod videos?

It's not on the site anymore since it went to clearance. I think it used to be $20-$30 originally. You have to go to a brick & mortar store to get one. (Everyone I've been to the last couple of months have plenty)

The items are useful on their own, and some can be used with the iPod Video, yeah. It's just that the kit is tailored, labeled and marketed as being for the 1st Gen shuffle. That's why it's gone clearance.

It was $3 a few months ago (Forgot to mention it), but I don't think it'll go lower than this. It'll just be gone.

EDIT Added pics.

aka RadioShack. (Common nickname)

There's a character limit on titles, so that's what you get. ;)

Nice, I knew I could find a way to spend the $2 burning a hole in my pocket.

I also noticed the same price for a padded case for handheld LCD TVs. I guess since the size they're for are usually analog, they are also trying to get rid of them. It might fit Creative or Zune players, but it does fit my already cased iPod Photo. I guess I'll use it in the winter. ;)

Nice deal, I just picked one up. My local store had 10 or so left.
