I purchased a refurbished ipod last week from Overstock.

By buying it online I didn't have to pay any sales tax. Shipping was only a dollar because I bought it on a weekend when they had a dollar shipping event. Because it was refurbished and an older model, it was around 40% off. I used a coupon code for another seven percent off.

I used some of the money I saved to buy a 2 year protection plan for $20 dollars. So far the ipod works great and is one of my best bargains of the year.
