iPod iPod Mini's Vanish from refurb site????

Any ideas on why all of the minis vanished from the refurb site.
before last weekend....they had 4 colors and 4 and 6gb models available.
monday morning.....gone.....ALL of them?!?!

What gives?!?! any info is appreciated.

i need to get a 4gb silver mini asap.

c'mon gang.......consider it a challenge......first one WINS!!!

(maybe that will work.....or maybe i should have put "PRE-ORDER'' in the subject line.....that may have helped too )

maybe you didn't read the first post clearly.

they were ALL available on saturday morning.......they were ALL gone monday morning.

highly improbable that they were all bought in 1 weekend.
just wondering if there was some store update and they got wiped out.

also.

is there any way to contact apple and check availability on refurb products??
thanks.

thanks for the reply though....i do appreciate it.

i want the mini because of the scratch 'proof-ness' of it....and the durability of the big sturdy aluminum frame....and the refurb price.

it's for a young kid (9-10yrs old) and i just like the durability of my old mini.
the new nanos biggest problem for my situation is price.....second is durability.

i do realize that's is ''shopping season'' but going from all availble to none available was just a shocker.

so....any info on contacting apple???

thanks for the replies.

That's what i was thinking 'cowboy'.

thanks for the replies.
