Apple Canada and Education Deals

As the holiday shopping season winds to a close, Apple is smart to look ahead and start some new promotions.

Refurb store in Canada. All I have to say is, "FINALLY." :)

Maybe I should have said something here but I noticed the Canadian refurb store about 2 weeks ago.


and yes... it's about time!

Refurbs, SWEEEEEEEEEEEET

Why hasn't Apple offered refurbs in Canada, before?

I prefer refurbs over new, anyday. The only parts of Apple I'm really buying is the motherboard and operating system, everything else is commodity.

It would have been nice if you had mentioned it earlier, I might have snagged an iPod or Shuffle at the time.

No point now, other than wait for MWSF. :)

I believe it had to do with demand, since there was little demand for Apple products in Canada in the past. And now the iPod and iMac G5 have changed that. ;) :)

Apple Canada has had refurbs for at least a couple months. I bought my mom a refurbished Mini 1.42/256/80/Combo for $549 CDN for Christmas. I went out and bought 1GB stick of Kingston, and you'd never know it wasn't the $917 new CTO from Apple. I was going to buy her one of the 1.25 refurbs for $469, but I waited too long and they were out of stock.

-- Thought I'd note that if you're looking for a refurbished item from Apple Canada and it's not listed on the site, try calling them. I was able to order a model that wasn't listed on the site.

Are you sure Apple wants every 3rd customer calling in regards to what they have no listed on they refurb store. I find it odd, but who cares......I will call and see they have in a refurb Quad G5 PowerMac with a 30" ACD. ;) :D

Thanks for the suggestion. :)

this just about gave me a heart attack, until I looked over and saw what the price was for.

edit: damn, meant the US education store. got me all excited with the mention of "Canada" and "education" in the same article.
