Why does one have to order it by email? Not much of an online store.

And how is the price so low? It has to be refurbished... Nice how they don't mention it.

If it's too good to be true, it is. Not being a pescimist, that's the way it is.
Am I still here?

Holy shit kids....

No, I am not impressed by the prices, but merely shocked at how now one has commented that the "online shop" is hosted on a free web site (about.com owns it) and thier contact info is also a free email/fax/voicemail (onebox.com).

This could be true, God knows, I'd love an iPod for $288! But, sadly, it isn't likely to be true. If you do order, use a credit card and protect yourself. Do not use a debit card, unless your bank offeres protection on it. Most banks DO NOT offer the same protection to debit cards as credit cards.

This whole thing looks very shady.
