Agreed.

To me, it look like a leprachaun to me. Everyone who see da leperchaun say YEAAAH. YEAHHH!!!

^^Referring to his avatar in case some of you are now questioning my sanity.

Not to throw water on the theme but people buying Refurbs Ipod have had there fair share of horror stories. I reading one at ilounge where the person send back 3 ipods until they got one that actually worked. Just know what you are getting into. Seems like a good deal for the price.

And that hasn't happened to tons of people with brand new iPods? I'm sure it has. Regardless, the warranty makes it a non issue really. I'm going to pick up a 60G in a few days.

the australian apple store has savings of only 20% for refurbs =\

and i dont think the USA apple store will ship to australia =(

 

[blessingx]

Damn these prices are decent. 60GB refurbished for $20 less than the 8GB new nano.

And just a reminder the Airport Expresses are $99. Got one (refurb from a year ago) and been great. A poor mans Sonos.

man this stinks

no mention on refurbished Ipods on the dutch apple store!

 

[bundee1]

Can you get these in the store as well?

 

[Laptopia]

I just went to www.apple.com and clicked around a few minutes, failing to find the link to the refurbs. Can anybody help? Thanks!

Apple.com -> Store -> "Refurbished iPod" under the Special Deals header on the left column.

Right column i believe. Yeah the Apple site would realy need a total update, so easy to get lost

wow, and when i saw that ipod in the FS forum go for $180 i was thinking i missed out.

I'm really going to consider a refurbed 5g now.

 

[Schalldampfer]

Heh. If you're really cheap, you can get one for free, like I did. Just go around asking for people's broken iPods. Then when you get home, smash them around a bit. I only spent around 20 USD to get the cable to get a fully working 4G.

Sweet. Just ordered a refurb nano for $99. I was going to get the new shuffle for the gym, but for about the same price I get twice the storage and a screen. Got to love that warranty too.

 

[elrod-tom]

I see that all the G4 iPods have now vanished from the site. I really was looking to buy one (the 60 gig model) in a few weeks, and want a G4 specifically because I've already got all the accesssories. Unfortunately, it looks like they've discontinued them as a refurb model. Anyone know the story there??

In the stores around here a lot of old stuff is still lying around.
Although Apple seems to have a good customer support they do not seem to care how the dealers get rid of their overstock.
