There were some just a couple of weeks ago, but they were gone almost instantly.
It's sort of like trying to get a woot item

Most are being used as replacements...
If you bring a broken one under warranty in, they just exchange it for a refurb.
You will hardly see any...

They do exist, they just sell out very quickly.
There were some listed on at least two days during Thanksgiving week. I missed the first day--they were sold out by the time I got to the online store--but bought one for my wife on the second day.

The online Apple Store has the 4 GB refurb model for $299 at the moment. If past experience is any indication, it will sell out quickly.
Thanks for the heads-up!! Just ordered it...
ETA: Then I cancelled...must've had a brain-fart--just realized it's only $100 less than a brand new 8GB model; kinda feel like I'd need to save more to buy a refurbed model w/ half the storage capacity...
I think it's a good deal if you don't need the space, and many people don't.
Of course, like I said above, I just ordered a 8 GB as a gift, for someone who totally doesn't need 8 GB (my mother). ha-ha.
Now they have 4 GB refurbs. argh!
I knew this would happen. Well, at least it will be in nicer packaging.
