# 3 Re: the $229 refurbs return!
I ordered a refurb 3G 30G from Powermax. They are awesome. Really friendly and helpful on the phone which was one of the reasons I went with them. Unit arrived in pristine condition and has worked flawlessly since.

FYI
They have a 10GB refurb for $229 and a 20GB used for $229
PowerMax is a division of Computer Systems Northwest, based in Oregon. My Dad used to work for a different division of Computer Systems Northwest called "The Computer Store" now called "The Mac Store" My Dad says that the management is really really corrupt, but I'm planning to get a 20GB anyways.

I've ordered through them both at home and for work. Excellent service and products.

I also got a refurb 30GB iPod from them. They're very nice and the best part is that they test all hardware before it's shipped to you, to make sure you don't get a DOA item.

just wondering if you had to pay duty or any other charges. i noticed you are from canada too, i think we might not be subject to it beause it may be classified as computer components. please let me know, thanks

i want to buy a 20gb refurb of the 2nd gen but im waiting for my 3g to break
# 10 Re: the $229 refurbs return!
That's hilarious that the management is rumored to be corrupt...
The guy who owns those stores is a close family friend of mine. He's got a big house :D
I've grown up on Macs, so naturally I grew up at The Computer Store. Really good service all around, treated us like friends. I heard about when some guy ran in and snatched a Powerbook and started running, an employee took off after him and snatched it from him as he tried to run away.
