New 15GB iPod: $125

I was in BestBuy yesterday browsing around, and noticed a scratch-and-dent tag on a boxed, on-the-shelf iPod. The tag said “scratches on display; missing headphones and software”. I got them to open the box; sure enough, the screen was badly scratched, and the headphones were missing. There was no price tag, so I was able to talk them down from their original offer of $150. Thus my new iPod (which also came with about 9GB of preloaded music, thankyouverymuch). If I can replace the screen faceplate, I may flip it on eBay, but then again I may not. Yay for returns!
