Can't beat $29. Now you can buy an iPod for everyone in the family.

I like the fact that you can use the 1G as a memory stick too...

Just bought mine.

Hah! Saw that yesterday and ordered one. For $29.00 can't go wrnog. Shipping is extra though.

That's a great deal. I just ordered one as a backup for the 1GB shuffle I bought on the refurb page about a year ago (for $99). I like this design better than the new tiny ones, because you don't need a docking station. Just pull off the cap and plug it in.

Thanks for the heads up, MDN!

Just ordered two for kids in the family. Thanks MDN!

> Shipping is extra though.

Hmmm... Shipping on orders above $50 is free, making the 1GB shuffle qualify for free shipping. Just paid about $5 in state tax. That's an even better deal...

@ GManMac,

BTW I got free shipping

Nov 01, 06 - 10:12 pm Comment from: Qka

Those prices are about the same or even cheaper than flash drives of the same capacity, and without the music playing features of an iPod.

And we see people paying 2wice as much for em on ebay. Can't get them cheaper than that. I look at apple refurbs like new products.

Nov 02, 06 - 12:29 am Comment from: ccrider

Thanks for the heads-up. I just ordered three of the 512s - one for me, one for a friend, and one for a gift. All for less than one cost when they first came out. Shipping's free if you order at least two. I love buying one generation previous - did it with my 4 gig mini a while ago and saved good bucks there too (plus got the extra cords and stuff that they left out of the 2nd gen).

I ran across this Monday browsing in the Apple Store. I got one for each of my 2 kids for Christmas. And since it was just over $50 I did not have to pay shipping. They arrived yesterday. Beautiful!! Also I got a refurb black 2Gb Nano last month and it is so awesome.

Bought one to put on the shelf, in case the Shuffle I have goes south. It's the perfect iPod for the gym.

I have a feeling that it may sit on my closet shelf for quite a while, though. The old one has been problem-free and shows no signs of slowing down.

Nov 02, 06 - 01:05 pm Comment from: geology1966

Just ordered my 512MB shuffle. Total with shipping $35.72 not bad.

Nov 02, 06 - 03:00 pm Comment from: Quevar

I just bought two - one for me and one for a friend in lab so we didn't have to pay shipping. These are a great deal.
