If you think that the only way to get an excellent quality iPod that looks and works like new is to buy one from a retailer, you haven't heard about refurbishing iPods. This technique has become incredibly popular in the last few years, although it started long before then. Now, however, refurbished iPods are more in demand than ever thanks to great technology and refurbishment professionals. Their skills make these iPods almost completely indistinguishable from a new product. More than ever, if you're buying an iPod, refurbished is the way to go.

What is a refurbished iPod? It is an iPod that has been updated and returned to like new condition, although a good company will perform the refurbishment so well you won't be able to tell that the iPod isn't completely new. But how can you tell which company sells the truly excellent quality refurbished iPods? Use these tips to gauge a company's capabilities:
- Do they offer a warranty?
- Do they offer iPod service as well as refurbishment?
- Do they use all new parts and materials?
- Do they put a new front cover, back cover, and clickwheel on all iPods?
A good company should offer all of those things. The newness of the parts, materials, and casing items will contribute to the longevity of your iPod.
Once you have selected a good company, you will have a large selection of iPods to choose from. Weigh your options carefully when you decide on an iPod; refurbished iPods typically offer a larger variety of models than a new retailer would. Refurbishment can be done very effectively on any type of iPod, meaning that a good retailer can bring you iPod styles long after Apple has discontinued them. This means you have more choice about the appearance and function you want your iPod to have, all at the lower refurbished price.
