Apple sells this for $179 on Apple.com, but here Apple sells it for $159?? Why do they do that?

I think the reason that Amazon is selling the 5th Generation iPod Nanos for $20 less than list is that there are newer (6th Generation) ones. (Note product titles which clearly indicate product generation.) On Apple's site, the only new iPod Nanos for sale are the 6th Generation ones. Any 5th Generation Nanos that you see there are refurbished ones.

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.

It isn't that easy. There wasn't anything very helpful online. If you kept your receipt it may be noted in the product description. I didn't find an answer so just guessed (and lucked out). Also you might your Apple store. Good luck!

I have no idea--it must be a different seller? I am not sure how this works, so can't tell you--I have always just gone with the lower price--sorry I am no help!

I'm seriously pissed off about this pricing. I have an Amazon Rewards Visa card. I get three points for every dollar spent on an Amazon purchase vs one point for each dollar spent somewhere else. This is $60 above list price. It is just as cheap for me to drive to an Apple store and buy it and pay the sales tax as to purchase this iPad from Amazon. This is like a big middle finger raised at me from Amazon.

Hey man I just checked what you said and its true...I bought mine less than two months ago and it said newest version...amazon probably differences their bundles this way...the computer came completely new and in perfect condition its the latest model and its extremely thin...the retina display will blow your head off its gorgeous...I have some pictures on instagram if you want to see it... @wakiko007 hope I helped answering your question

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

Yes, but ordering from Apple is full retail, plus $188 tax for a 17". Sigh. I want a matt screen.

The model at B&H; is the new version. The difference is only that it works with iPhones. There is no reason Amazon should be selling it for way over the recommended price. I imagine they are trying to 'encourage' people to clear their stock of the old model before they drop the price, which is REALLY annoying.

I understand your frustration... and so can all those people who shelled out $600 (or more) for a new iPhone, only to see the price drop $200. Apple smoothed it over a tiny bit by issuing them a $100 Apple Store credit. Whoopee.Imagine the poor saps who paid well over retail for the iPhone just to have one of the first ones?

I bought it early in November for $1,012. I had been watching the price for a month and it suddenly dropped. Plus, no sales tax and free two day delivery (with the Prime membership). I saved about $300 instead of buying it at the local Apple Store.

Hi there. Mostly because of Amazon's super high commission rate, unfortunately. But also mainly targeted towards international buyers - since Apple products cost much more in Europe and Asia. But if you're interested, I can sell directly via Pay Pal or something similar and take the price down?

One place on amazon has it listed at 19.99 and one has it listed for $89. The item numbers and all the details are the same. Am I missing something?

I second that. Is this product available now? There is another product labeled as the otterbox iPad defender that is already out, has 5 reviews, and is selling for about $80-90.

They've made several versions of this, and given the big discount, it's probably an older model, possibly for the first iPad. if it's not, you can always return it.

I got mine on Black Friday. I saw the price and my eyes almost popped out of my head. I couldn't order it fast enough! Keep an eye out, you never know when the price might drop again. Even at this price it's still cheaper than any other reseller I've seen or even the Apple Store is. I live in Texas and I have no sales tax when purchasing from Amazon which is a added plus!
