For what it’s worth. I was at Costco a few days ago and saw the Clip-Zip 8gb for $59.
That’s not a very good price for Costco. You can get them for only a couple dollars more ($62 + free shipping) on Amazon.
I saw the 8G ClipZip at Costco yesterday for $40 (after instant rebate). Tempted, but I really need to wait for some of my refurb Clips and Clip+s to die first. Battery life is waning on them, but from what I’ve read, the ClipZip doesn’t improve on that much. I’ll probably just wait for a ClipZip on Woot.

Now _ that’s _ a super deal! :) Just amazing at that price, isn’t it, given what you’re getting (and what competitor player companies charge).

That is indeed more like Costco’s aggressive pricing. I certainly wouldn’t risk buying a re-furb when you can get a brand-new one with a warranty for that price. 
I hinted to my husband that Costco has a great price on it & I have a birthday (not to mention the holidays) coming up. It didn’t take. I think I’m still back to waiting for a refurb after some of my older ones die. :) It’s not a “need” at the moment, and we’re watching what we spend.
