I'd buy it in a heartbeat. $100 is $100. In my experience, I've never seen any junky refurb gear from Apple (including iPods, which should be the most banged-up and "used"-looking of anything they sell). I always look at it as instead of "used" or thrashed, maybe it was a returned gift or returned within a few days of purchase (which can't technically be sold as new) with barely any use. Or maybe it spent a weekend as a demo product at some trade show or exhibition, and got handled just a little bit (but not taken out into the world and dropped, dinged, scuffed, etc.).

I'd have a tough time buying new again, knowing what I know now. And that goes for the iPhone (and iPods) as well. I might even delay my planned summer '09 purchase by a few months, just so I can save $100 or so. It all depends on a few factors, but I'm certainly open to the idea (there was a time when I I wouldn't have been).
