What is the typical timeframe you've seen for a new product to show up as a refurbished item after release. I know, someone will say when one is returned after being newly bought, but I'm wanting to know how long that process may take, days, weeks, a month? I'm just curious to see what you say depending on past experiences.

In particular, I'm hoping to get the new iPod touch 3G (supposing it comes out around Sept. 9) as a refurbished item. How long do you think it would take to show as refurbed?
 
If memory serves correct, it takes quite a bit of time for new iPods to hit the refurb story. I would think no sooner than December.
