The 99 cent iPhone (and the $99 Nano)

Wanna buy an iPhone for 99 cents? You probably missed your chance. Apparently 99 Cent Only stores in California are having a big 25th anniversary party, and this morning, at their store in Westchester, CA, they sold 9 iPhones to the first 9 customers for only 99 cents each.

That can't quite be legal, considering that Apple and AT&T have paid a lot of money to make sure you get the iPhone from them, but of course it's just a fun contest to promote the store's anniversary. Unfortunately, if you missed your chance this morning, the prizes go downhill fast-- a Friends VHS set and cordless powered scissors are among the options for Friday. Wait a minute, "cordless powered scissors"? That sounds pretty cool, actually.

Of course, the 99 cent store isn't the only place you can find good deals-- Adam dropped us a heads up that Nanos are being sold in Apple's refurbished store for only 99... ok, well, dollars. But a 2gb Nano for 99 bucks is as cheap as you'll find it.

Thanks, Matt and Adam!

MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo means great deals on yesterday's MacBook Pro Core Duo

Here's a savvy shopper tip for those of you not impressed enough with the new Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros to pay full retail - visit Apple's refurb section [US store link] to save 22%-37% on the portables that were top of the line just yesterday.

Apple Certified Refurbs come with free shipping and the same warranty as brand new Apple hardware. Some people say that buying a refurb ensures you even fewer problems than buying brand new since presumably the machine has already been repaired and more thoroughly bench tested. As always, YMMV.

As you can imagine, there are a slew of Intel Core Duo MacBook Pros in Apple's Sale section this morning, so if you're looking for a bargain, start there. If you want to keep close tabs on what's new and trendy in the Apple Store Special Deals section, you might also check out While Supplies Last, which updates the inventory and status of Apple refurbs and deals twice a day for the US, Canada and UK stores.
