2nd gen ipod mini about 4/5 years ago, worked perfectly and only just replaced it with a nano

They are always mint and look brand new, you wont be able to tell the difference.

They just come in a standard brown box instead of the branded one.

I'm in the process of saving £800 for an iMac 2.66 off of the refurb store, comes with 1 years warranty and I can add 3 years Apple care on to that as well.......

Should have enough to place my order by next week

Plus I can get the Snow Leopard upgrade cheap too.........

yeah bought a ipod classic 20gb about 7 years ago, still going strong they were rediculasly cheap about £120 as opposed to £220 or something like that.

I then bought a 5th gen 80gb 2 years ago and thats going strong as well even though there are bite marks in it from the then toddler.

Bought a MBP from there just a few weeks ago for £730 and got a higher spec machine to boot

Build quality was pristine. Also bought an Airport Express from the refurb store a week later with the same results. I'll use the refurb store in future thanks to the savings.

I bought my Macbook Air from the refurb store. Everything is exactly as it is for products bought on the normal store except you don't get a pretty box.

J1234 · 26 Aug 2009 at 21:42

just bought a 16gig 4th gen nano for 109£

I guess they don't sell iPhones on the refurb store?

Bought a MBP a couple months ago, was higher spec than usual, in absolute perfect condition (its on the show off your hardware thread)

I also got an ipod nano for the gym, again you couldn't tell it wasn't new - I believe they always replace the case and screen when they provide refurbs.
