The Apple Store takes up to 50% off a selection of factory-refurbished Apple iPods, with prices starting at $89. With free shipping, that's among the best sales we've seen on these models, yielding the lowest total prices we've seen for each iPod with a 1-year Apple warranty (the same as new units). A couple best bets, compared to new:

• Refurbished 4th-gen Apple iPod Touch 8GB MP3 Player for $89 (pictured, low by $95)
• refurb 5th-gen Apple iPod Touch 64GB MP3 Player for $239 (low by $81)
