Bugger, I just got one and it was delivered today. Not a refurbished and directly from apple. At least I got free engraving and shipping I guess
My son has the previous gen 8 GB and I have to say the screen on the new one is absolutely amazing. A very nice improvement.

For only $15 more, Iād get a new one from Amazon with the full 1-yr warranty. The refurbed 32 Gb model can be had from the Apple store for $230 with a 1-yr warranty.

$210 new at Amazon. Or refurbished at $185 + $4.99 shipping. Not a Woot worthy deal.
what happened woot? this is no deal at all. I remember getting a Xbox 360 surround sound system for $90 new when it was $250 retail. This disgusts me.
Those are the last generation with slower processors and not the new nice screen display.

Why not pay $15 more and get it new from Amazon?
the issue is that when one gets it from amazon is the warranty, according to an apple genius.
got an ipod from amazon and the warranty started when the reseller purchased it from apple, NOT the date that i got it from amazon.
I just want this so I can sing āYOUāVE GOT THE TOUCH!ā
EDIT: Embed wasnāt working.

Doesnāt seem like a great deal. For $15 more (including shipping), you can get a new one from Amazon. ($209 vs. $189+$5)

I was really excited when I ordered one of these. However, when I received my product in the mail it was encrusted with feces. I didnāt think much of it and decided to open the parcel regardless. When I opened the package, my product was also covered in poop. All in all, Iām very unsatisfied with woot! I would NOT recommend this 8 GB iTouch to anyone.
oh crap. That really stinks.
Oh good, now I donāt have to leave Verizon.
This has not been a quality post.
Also, I have this model. Got it new last September. Love it, use it every day, works fine, no problems. Itās like having an iPhone 4 without that pesky phone feature or a contract getting in the way.
The last time I ordered one of these, it didnāt come with black earbuds and I almost lost my mind!

This is no deal. Pay another $15 and get a brand new one with a one year warranty instead of this refurbed one that probably was handled by someone who did not wash his/her hand after a bowel movement.
Isnāt this kinda like a Sansa but with worse sound quality & a much higher price?
This isnāt even a deal Woot really has sold out completelyā¦THANKS AMAZON for ruining Woot.

I have the this iPod touch, and let me just say, the Retina Display is amazing. Pretty good price, too.
If these are official Apple refurbs (which I think they are), the outer shell is BRAND NEW, which means no scratches. You wouldnāt be able to tell it was refurbed! Great deal.
Donāt think these are official Apple refurbs. Appleās refurbs have the full 1-yr warranty. This one has a woot 90-day warranty. Boo.
8GB is not enough. I have too much music.
Good deal? This is only $20 off a brand new one on bestbuy.com .

Interesting. Normally Iād say that buying a refurb from Appleās own store is a better buy, but they donāt have any of this generation right now. Congrats to woot!
the issue is that when one gets it from amazon is the warranty, according to an apple genius.
got an ipod from amazon and the warranty started when the reseller purchased it from apple, NOT the date that i got it from amazon.
This is directly from Amazon though, not a reseller. The warranty wouldnāt start from when they purchased from Apple (not sure about 3rd party resellers though)ā¦
