But an open item price is manually taken off.

Maybe I'm wrong... it's been nearly 10 years since I worked at Best Buy.

I see what you're saying. Weird. Our store manager was pretty lax on things like that. I guess maybe they have changed. It's been 8 years for me

Question 1:
what can you afford?
-329 then that means stay with 16gb
-401 then see below might as well shell out $28 and get a new one. cmon now, 28 dollars is really not THAT much.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty confident that the 16gb model will be sufficient. It's not as much a question of what I can afford, but rather how much I want to spend and which one makes the most sense (bang for the buck as well).

If money is not an issue then bang for the buck is easily 32gb

Open box because apple holds the warranty and its good for a year, anything wrong apple will replace with a "new" refurbished....always a good experience...
