You can also buy it new with a discount at any Apple retailer. I bought a new one at Best Buy & got the discount. Much better to get a refurbished one though, just a tip. It's brand new and you save lots more. I returned the new one and got the refurbished and was able to get the 256 gb one for less than I had payed (with the discount) for the 128gb. No scratches or anything and the the part that was problematic (if any at all) has been replaced new.
