Apple selling refurbished iPad 2s

For those of you who want to save a little money on an iPad 2, Apple has begun selling refurbished models on its online store. Apple currently has a stock of white and black Wi-Fi iPad 2 models for US$549.99 for the 32 GB model and $649.99 for the 64 GB model. Refurbished iPad 2 3G models will run you $679.99 for the 32 GB model and $779.99 for the 64 GB model.
Those prices are a $50 savings over new models. Apple also has a selection of refurbished original iPads for sale, starting at $399.99 for a 32 GB iPad 3G model. All of Apple's refurbished products feature a one-year limited warranty and can be purchased with an extended AppleCare warranty. You can read Apple's Certified Refurbished Products guidelines here.

$50 off LOL. what a savings! not. Good marketing though. Most people will think OMG I can save $50 and go for it.
Hint: Buying brand new one will save you >$50 in repair/replacement costs later :) now if it was a substantial discount I would say go for it.
My advice: Don't buy these. Interesting, too, how only the 32 and 64GB models are available. I bought my 16gb (I believe?) model for $500. BRAND NEW. Not refurbished. :)
My reasoning that saving $50 here is rubbish is not dissing Apple. It's the idea that the best way to save money is to go for the big wins. not for chump change that may end up costing you more later.
that's funny, 1 year limited warranty. Under the description of the top Featured Products on this refurb page it lists the original iPad as having a Full 1-Year warranty, then when you click on it to purchase the product it magically changes to Limited 1-Year warranty. Apple has been making money off of really smart people because their products are great as well as really dumb people because they looooooooooove the fine print. FYI I am an Apple shareholder because they make a whole ton of money each year, and for no other reason.
