I've been wanting an iPod for a while, but never bought one because:
A.) I can't decide which model I want
and
B.) I'm cheap & I hate the thought of spending $150 on something that could get wiped out in ten minutes if I'm caught four miles from home running in a rainstorm.

But, did you know that you can buy refurbished iPods for about half price? According to the web site and the reviews from satisifed customers on the "Bargains Board" at babycenter.com, they're worth every dollar. They come with a warrantee, too.

Someone posted about the iPod shuffle being as low as $29. I guess they post them when they're available, so you have to keep checking the site to see when they're available (and when they are...order quick, they go fast!).
