Actually, it is NOT too good to be true. Apple is not advertising this, BUT: Go to your local Apple store and ask them if they have any 4GB iPod Minis in the back. If they do (ours did), they will sell it to you for $149, I believe? They are no longer displaying the 4GB Mini, but, again, ask them if they have any remaining. They'll give you a deal.

With Amazon's purchasing power, I am not surprised to see them at $99. Great deal! Thanks for the heads-up!

This was actually "Amazon Marketplace", so it is being sold by a private seller. If I actually get it, and it is indeed brand new for $90.00, it will be the best find/deal ever for me. In the back of my mind, I am expecting to receive a shuttle instead of a mini. We shall see.

Good luck! Let us know if it works out.

The old addage is right again. If it sounds too good 2B true...
The seller cancelled the order and credited my card. I just went to Amazon to post negative feedback, and many others had also done the same thing today. Oh well, next :p

1 out of 5: "First you place the order, then the seller refund you the $ with NO REASON. Is this a game or something? Very Awful Seller! Don't be fool by the cheap price. Be Careful."

Is the $149 price for the 2nd gen? Not bad if it is. Pricegrabber is showing $174 as best price.

Well, you were pretty well protected if this didn't go right, so nothing ventured / nothing gained. It was worth a shot and all you lost was a little bit of time.

Agreed. Now Amazon has a seller with one for $120.00 Click me Maybe, I'll try that one for poops and giggles

UPDATE: Just ordered it and there is no inventory available

Too bad Greg. The Ipod give-away or cheap cheap deal is the Internet version of those cheap stereo speakers that CJ keeps getting offered. Everywhere you turn there's a pop up of some iPod giveaway. When I gave in on buying an iPod I got my 4th gen 20GB for $245.

You should try Juan's suggestion.
