refurbished 15 gig ipod? should i?

Yes, I have, and my niece and two nephews have done, too. Three friends have also bought refurbed iBooks.

You get what is, to all intents and purposes a new iPod, with all the trimmings and usually with all the packaging too. You get a full guarantee. You get a pod that's been more rigorously tested than a new one. You get a new battery and a new enclosure. You save a shedload of money. I simply don't understand why people bother buying new, like I did with my first Pod.

yea, go for a 30gb..space is always welcome, (and if a new version you love comes out, just sell it..)

Me too. I ordered the 10th, its been pushed back 3 times and now says 9/22 for expected delivery. Not cool.

hey, im just doing this because i figure i can get a "brand" new ipod with 5 more gigs, and the accessories, and paying less than 100 to do this. plus, i like the new ipod smell :)

I just bought a refurb 15GB 3G iPod from Apple. I ordered on 9/14 and it is shipped and I should get it on Tuesday. :D I did have one delay in the shipping..it was pushed back from 9/17 to 9/19. No biggie. Although it *would* have been great to get it today as I was originally told so I could tinker with it all weekend! Oh well...

This is my very first pod, so I hope to be pleased with my choice of going the refurb route. :rolleyes:

You ordered on 9/14 and they already shipped it? I ordered the refurbished 15GB iPod from Apple web site on 9/10, and the shipment got delayed several times. First they said it won't be shipped until 9/16, then 9/18, and now 9/22. How did you get your order from 9/14 to ship before mine?

Yeah that sucks. But the question we need to ask is why people who ordered later than 10th is already getting their iPod shipped while we are still waiting on our order? Don't they have a first-come-first-serve policy?

Yeah, I ordered via the website 9/14. I also ordered one of the iNCASE belts which was delivered to me seperately on 9/18. The iPod itself was delayed from shipping on 9/15...to 9/17 and finally to 9/19. Late this afternoon I got an e-mail w/ an Airborne tracking number saying it was shipped today. I have no idea how my order was shipped before yours. :( There is definately something wrong with that scenario if you ordered 9/10. Are you also in the US? I would call Apple and see what's up.
