Ah, hell -- it's already sold out. Called that one, eh? Fear not: I'll post something else before the day is out. Surely I can find another way to spend your money. ;)

I know, I know, I feel awful. Same thing happens to me at woot.shirt: Whenever they have a really kick-ass shirt, it's sold out by the time I get there.

A friend and I bought the Flip Ultra 60-minute at Blockbuster for $59.99 at different times this year (May for him and September for me). I checked many stores before I found it in another state (I was on vacation), they were brought in around Christmas 2007 and have been on clearance ever since, hence the great price and incredible scarcity. It may be worth calling your local Blockbusters (and having them check the computers if any not-so-local stores have them still in stock, the drive may be worth saving $60).

rick, www.slickdeals.net is an amazing site for finding deals. Just giving you a heads-up. I've seen deals like a 46" sony tv+HDMI DVD package marked down from $3200 to $1500

What's to break? I dunno; you tell us why they're refurbs since they're not breakable, then!
