As one of its daily deals, CowBoom offers the refurbished Apple iPad mini 16GB WiFi Tablet in Black, model no. MD528LL/A, for $249.99 plus $5 for shipping. That's the lowest total price we could find for a refurbished unit, although we saw a refurb for $6 less last month. (It's also a current price low for a new unit by $50.)
