Apple Certified Refurbished iPods are pre-owned iPods that have undergone Apple's stringent refurbishment process. All refurbished iPods are covered by Apple's one-year limited warranty. As an example of some of the savings available, a refurbished white 30GB iPod that normally sells for $299.00 is available for $199.00. As part of the refurbishment process, all units are fully tested, are refurbished with genuine Apple replacement parts for any defective modules identified in testing, are put through a thorough cleaning process, and are repackaged with appropriate documentation and cables. With Christmas just around the corner this deal will keep both the children and your bank account happy.
