Refurbished iPads now just $299

by Mike Schramm (Aug 22nd, 2011)

Apple's got a new price on a refurbished iPad (that's an iPad 1, not the latest 2), and it's likely the lowest official price you'll ever pay for the tablet. $299 is the new magic number, for a 16 GB iPad Wi-Fi. Of course, that presumes that the unit will come back into stock, but it likely ...

The Apple Store warns in red print that this is a Special Limited Time Price, which means now is the time to spread the news among your friends. There's no catch in this bargain; the shipping on ...

Where are the iPad refurbs? Update: found.

by Erica Sadun (Sep 16th, 2010)

Update: Reader Tim Y. found the iPad refurbs hiding out on Apple's online store. While they are accessible via searching the store, there's no navigation slot for them (or for the iPhone 4, for that matter) under Apple's clearance section. So it's almost six months after the iPad's US release -- ...

Dinner and a movie or... an iPhone?

by Lauren Hirsch (Jul 10th, 2009)

It was inevitable. One day the iPhone was going to turn into an impulse purchase. In two short years we've gone from the iPhone as a serious $500 commitment to a grab no more expensive than dinner and a movie. The AT&T store now has a refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G for $79, with free two-day ...

Refurb iPhone from AT&T: $249. Maybe

by Erica Sadun (Mar 18th, 2008)

TUAW reader Matt Daughtry tipped us off about this refurb AT&T iPhone deal for just $249 with free shipping. Much as I tried to buy one, the awful AT&T web design just would not let me add one to my cart and check out. If you have better luck and can leave some how-to tips in the comments, ...

by Erica Sadun (Mar 20th, 2007)

Right now, Apple's online Mac refurb section looks like a Piggly Wiggly in Atlanta the day before a big ice storm. The shelves are practically empty, waiting for a big restock. No MacBook Pros, no MacBooks, a few Powerbooks and iMacs, no minis. So where have all the refurbs gone? Well items come and ...

Newegg selling "recertified" iPods

by Erica Sadun (Jan 26th, 2007)

When did Newegg start selling "recertified" iPods? At decent (but not great) prices, too. 30GB 5G iPod videos (both black and white models) are just two hundred bucks. At the Apple Store, to contrast, certified refurbished 30GB 5G iPod videos sell for $180, saving you a sawtoothsawbuck and ...
