Special deals section of Apple Store has refurb old school 10GB iPods on sale again. Get off the fence already and buy one!

My only concern would be with the battery life of a used/refurbished iPod. I seriously doubt that they are replacing the batteries on these units. But otherwise it's a good deal, especially as it comes with remote and case.

If battery life becomes an issue within the 1 yr warranty period...
im sure they would replace it.

Well..I'm not sure...but im guessing.

The refurbs come with the same warranty as the new iPods? If so, that does make it a bit better -- certainly more attractive than buying used.

This is a great deal, particularly for all the people who've been scouring Target stores for the 2nd gen. 10 gig models. Granted, it's not NEW, but with a one year warranty...

I'd jump on it if I hadn't bought a 3G model last night. I couldn't resist how tiny it was (even compared to my old 5 GB model)!

Yes, I think this is a good deal for those who want an iPod but just can't/don't want to fork out the bread for a new model.

I had always avoided Apple's refurbs as the warranty was susally 90 days and the discount wasn't enough the justfy the risk. This one, though, is a fair deal.

I just finished ordering one for myself. As boardsurfer said; "Get off the fence already and buy one!"

That would be 3rd Generation, not 3GB.

Haha. Yes, most definitely not 3 GB. I should've been even more vague and said "G3 model"!
