ipod prices

[browser]

I am about to leave for New York City (staying in Manhattan). I was wondering if in any of the smaller shops the ipod prices would be much different from the Apple Store. If anyone lives in the area I would appreciate shop names and addresses if possible.

Might be able to get a hot one off the street but open and make sure its an ipod and not some rocks first.

Watch out for fake products. I'm not sure if iPods fall into this category but it happens.

Refurbushed is another issue too.

if you want a cheap on the you dont want an ipod...if you really want an ipod that bad then dish out the money...

[harrycary]

Yeah, you really got no choice when it comes to pricing. All authorized Apple resellers only sell at "suggested" list price. (it's a contractual thing)

If you find cheaper prices then buyer beware.

there is only one way i know of to get an ipod below the 299 cost (or whatever yours is). That is if you have a student, employee or some other discoutn through apple. the 299 ipod would cost me 279. I have never seen one lower then that proce for a new one (i dont think you can get it that cheap on ebay with shipping)

I'm a highschool student,what are the requirements for the student discount?

[neevakee]

for the most part it is university student inly unless you go to a school that give you a discount on computer goods. The problem is that the school may recive a discont and the students may qualify it is that the school isn't knoweldgeable of it or, you have to ask for it. check apples website for details, but as i said you may or may not even qualify if your school gets it.

also i doubled check the price is actually 269 they take $30 off any ipod roduct (orginal and photo) minis are $20 and $30 and shuffle is none

u might wanna try ebay :)

There is a website that will ship you just an ipod, and no dock or anything, just the 20GB Ipod, or whatever you want. And they only cost about 150$. And you can buy accessories if you want them, like USB/Firewire cables.

And that website is?

[david622]
