I have never purchased anything refurbished. To be honest, I would feel guilty giving my son a refurbished Ipod. Please don't attack me for feeling this way lol Someone convince me that this is a good deal lol. The price is great, just can't grasp the whole refurbished thing.

[whotami]

Is this a newer model than the one on www.apple.com for $149 and free shipping? It just says "previous generation" on Apple. If it is the same I'd rather go through the Apple website.

[simplydivine]

LOL!! I can relate, I used to feel the same way. Two years ago I took the plunge and now 99% of the electronics I buy are refurbished. They look brand new when they arrive. I've bought refurbed mp3 players, 'puters (1 laptop & 1 netbook), tv and have never had a problem. I always figured if it looked like something the dog coughed up when it arrived, I'd send it back asap.

I love refurb. I've never gotten one that was bad.

LOL did a spit-take on that one lol

So, they are packaged new? The only person to know it is refurbished would be me?

[speeddiva]

Alot of the time it will come in a plain box instead of the packaging you see in the store....or there will be a sticker on the box. That's the only difference.

Doesn't it say 2nd Generation?

A sticker??? lol *gulp* a "refurbished" sticker? lol

not on the apple website.

We purchased three of the refurbished ones from the Apple online store. These are for our younger kids 6-7-8 and will be fine for them. They carry the same warranty as a new one from Apple and the kids could care less.

 

On a side note, in my business I have purchased many a refurbished cell phone from Verizon and you would be hard pressed to know these are refurbished. They come with all the accessories and are in new condition. I would recommend this route for anyone who is looking to replace a damaged phone or needs a new before their contract is up.

[simplydivine]

The TV came in a plain box, the others came in the original packaging with a tested or refurb sticker on it. Very small and easy to take off. If it comes in a plain box, toss it and put it in a stocking...lol!! Or.... get some of that double sided tape or strong glue and wrap the box with it so they "become one"

[simplydivine]

Comparing the specs of the two, they appear to be the same.

Ok, I'm really interested in a refurb'd laptop. Any sites y'all recommend I use or any I should steer clear of?

I just received a 8gb touch from the Apple site last week for my daughters birthday (and this is the 4th ipod we have ordered refurb from Apple) and I HIGHLY recommend it!

[cjs9473]

When you purchase refurbished ipods on the Apple site, I know you get the same warranty as you would for a new one. We have purchased two refurbished ipods from them and have never had a problem.

[knudsons]

Just ordered 3 for Christmas gifts, I have spent about 10 hours searching ad's and calling places as this one the one big ticket all 3 kids asked for. I have ordered Kodak refurbished before but never even thought of that this time. Thanks so much to the original poster.

My DH orders from B&H a lot and has not had any problems with them.

So does it not come with a regular power charging cord? Do you charge it through your computer? What is the Dock Adapter? Do I need to buy a Dock?

No ipods come with a power cord, you can buy separately. The USB cable is what you use to charge ipod and dowload songs until you get a separate docking station or power cord for home outlets, trust me they have tons of accessories for ipods. I would buy a separate dock like one that has a speaker if you don't want to keep hooking it up to your computer. As far as the dock adapter, I'm pretty sure I threw that away accidentally not knowing what it was. Apple ipods don't exactly come with real manuals. Your kind of on your own trying to figure out its capabilities.

[tgunn_ocs]

for anyone wondering, the boxes from apple are white, and at the very top of the box, they say Apple Certified Refurbished. They are like new otherwise. Five Below is a great place for accessories if you have them in your area.

[krmckee]

So it seems the 8G are out of stock at Apple Anyone know if they will get more in??????

[siillyy2000]

I just bought one from B&H I believe I have bought from them before . I did check apple but they were sold out oh well I"m sure this one will be find

[krmckee]

So is a refurbed ipod from them the same as one from Apple? Do they go thru the same refurb process???

[davidmg1]

Comparing the specs of the two, they appear to be the same.

There is not much difference between a 2nd and 3rd Gen 8GB iPod Touch. You would see a difference in the 32GB and 64GB 3rd Generations...they have a higher speed chip and a few other features.

 

I was planning on buying one for DD8 for Christmas from Apple, but being OOS worries me. I bought the same one for my DD11 for her birthday this year and she loves it. No problems with refurbs.

 

Guess I better jump on this one.

[amood06]

NOOOOOO!!!! Out of Stock I was planning on buying the 8gb (refurb) from apple for my daughter. I'm going to have to start jumping on deals when I see them and stop waiting for the price to drop lower.

[jdrd90]

It's showing in stock for me.

 

 

 

 

Oh wait , sorry..I thought you meant from this site.
